Jigsaw Puzzle #3. Landscape, influenced by Man

Challenge #36 in the Life in the Natural World series. Hosted by RuthC.

Challenge has finished

Show us an example of a very busy, detailed landscape which would make a great jigsaw puzzle. There must be evidence of man-made structures, such as roads, buildings, bridges over rivers or streams, orchards, tree plantations, vineyards, cultivated fields, etc. NO cityscapes, townscapes or seascapes this time please. Think 1,000+ piece, devious 'drive-you-crazy' picture with lots of minute details.... :-) SIZE: 1,600px MAXIMUM ON LONGER SIDE.

NO glaringly obvious HDR. If it hurts my eyes, it's out!

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

NO photos from previous DPR challenges can be entered in this challenge.
Encouraging comments about entries are welcome.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! If you enter the challenge, vote on other entries! This will hopefully counteract the sandbaggers' votes which spoil the genuine results for everyone's entries.
Don't try to vote via Thumbnails in this challenge..... It's not a fair way to assess the details in such a challenge.
ENTRANTS WHO HAVE ENTERED NUMEROUS CHALLENGES, AND HAVE NEVER VOTED, OR HAVE A VERY LOW VOTING SCORE RELATIVE TO THEIR ENTRIES, EXPECTING OTHERS TO DO THEIR WORK FOR THEM MAY BE DQ'D. I don't like Free-loaders or Free Riders in my challenges.
Sandbagging, and vote solicitation will cause DQ'ing of entries, don't even contemplate it!
Entrants or voters caught cheating will be unwelcome in my future challenges.
