Don't take this joke too seriously. It's just a little thing I thought of making after seeing the picture used by the NOS in this article about Tata Steel emissions:

ah yes, sommtsyiist ietneyalaids (Cyrillic attempted reading)
I'd like to know where each of those places are. If I recall correctly (and if I'm wrong, I would like to be corrected with visual evidence), one thing the US has over pretty much all of Europe is the natural landscapes.
Europe also has stunning natural landscapes. Just look at the Swiss Alps as an example.
It do believe it is true, however, that in America you are more likely to encounter vast expanses of beautiful (nearly) untamed nature.
The pictures in the Netherlands are:
- A couple of row houses next to the Tata Steel plant in IJmond
The plant has been in the news a lot recently due to how much it pollutes the surrounding air, and the associated elevated health risks. - A plane spotters spot right next to one of the runways of Schiphol Airport
The picture was taken by Jason Slaughter, who runs the NotJustBikes YouTube channel. - The A4 highway between Leiden and Amsterdam, in the direction of Den Haag and Rotterdam
It's not part of my regular commute, so I can't be certain, but this picture is probably taken during a particularly bad traffic jam. - The station square in front of Eindhoven Centraal Station, during the COVID riots
This picture was used by the NOS in their article on the evening curfew riots in Eindhoven
As for the pictures in America, I just googled some nice urbanism terms and US and picked the first pictures that seemed nice.
I think the first one is in Boston, but I don't know where the other ones were taken.
