Fahren auf der Autobahn

Description

Ok, this is one of those really weird situations, where the universe reminds you strange things happen all the time.

I had taken this photo while sitting on the bus from Germany back home. It was a long journey, so I was just playing with my camera a bit, trying longer lenses on the traffic before us. And then we came to an overpass and I simply pointed the cam outside and snapped. This shot.
Originally, it was a bit grey and lacking contrast. So I played with the colour settings in GIMP and came up with this nice effect, kind of looks like an old 70s photo.
Well, I was preparing to upload and thought of above title, after the Kraftwerk song Autobahn. And thinking this way German traffic helped me teach you, my dear watchers and random passers-by, some good music for a change.
So I looked up the Kraftwerk song on YouTube, and found it: here it is.
Then I noticed something. Something odd. You see, I knew the song, obviously, but I had never seen the cover of the Autobahn album before. I looked up a higher quality version of it, check it out here.
I noticed a similarity, the overpass over the Autobahn in the distance is in my photo, as well as on the Kraftwerk album cover. But that's not all. It's more noticeable in the higher quality version of the cover, there is also the electricity tower to the left of both images. And even one tower way in the distance, just right of the center.

Yes, so it seems I have remade the Kraftwerk album cover, without realizing it.
But it's just a reminder, these strange things happen all the time. If this is possible, then why couldn't our dreams come true?
