German car registration plates sometimes spell words. The first letters indicate the area where a car is from, the next one or two are random (but these days you can pick them as well.

When I drove past this field I thought of a sickness of the grain, possibly to do with lack of water.
On closer inspection I was baffled rather more than less.
