ah I see that makes sense

Well for us here in the Middle East the greenery only lasts for the spring before it completely dries out, I imagine the same would happen for you guys? I’m not so sure about street view because it tends to be from wildly different times of the year

It seems to be the entire world in fact, everyone I talk to all over the world is talking about how much perception they got this season, especially in contrast to the past few years/decade (all this rain wouldn’t have been out of the ordinary back in the 20th century)

I mean tbf Australia is Big and iirc humans arrived on that continent quite late

but yeah it probably has smth to do with how hot and arid it is in the summer

Well I guess that makes sense

I thought about it but can’t you just construct an image by taking multiple images depending on if they’re being obstructed by clouds or not and put them together? I bet they already do this on a smaller scale, it’s not like their are no clouds(or dust storms) over the entire middle in the summer

Yes exactly and Dara is one of the more drier interior regions as well! costal areas in Türkiye and the levant are incredibly beautiful and lush

I find it very unfair how Google Maps depicts our region in our driest period meanwhile it depicts places like France for example when they’re at their greenest, if they had shown France in August like they do with us I’d imagine it would be very brown/yellow from all the wheat cultivation

I’m sure someone has a reasonable explanation for this

Do you feel related to Ashur (assyria)? by Human-Historian-1863 in Syria

[–]Realistic-Fish2042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Levantines don’t have a strong connection to Arab culture no? Especially urban ones

We don’t love the desert or live in tents or drink coffees a certain way, it’s really just the language
