For my impressions of USA I have created a layout called
Looking Across the Water.
The usa is generally known here as the other side of the water, or the pond. We can't see across "the pond" as it';s so big, so I used an ocean picture for my background. The photo the closest I've got. It's taken on the Canadian side of the Niagra, where my Mother in law, sister in law & her husdand looked across the water at the USA
