I've asked the artist to "Come On Down".

Humm, well I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that this is not a scene from South Philly.   rolleyes.gif  Is that a picture of an "organic farm"??  Thinking.gif

Beautiful . . . but those big rolling contoured fields suggest Kansas/Nebraska.

News Note:

Just down that gravel road this scene took place the other day . . . when, upon entering the local country store, Kelly noticed on the glass door a sign reading, "Danger! Beware of Dog".

Inside, he saw a harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor beside the cash register. So he asked the store manager, "Is that the dog folks are supposed to beware of?"

"Yep, that's him," he replied.

Kelly couldn't help but be amused. "That certainly doesn't look like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that sign?"

"Because," the owner replied, "before I put up that sign, people kept tripping over him."

Could be any state in the Midwest. All of 'em have some areas of rolling hills, even if the rest of the state is dead flat. I'm not biased, but I'll guess Wisconsin. wink.gif

I'm not biased either, so I'll guess it's South of the Cheddar Curtain  laugh.gif

Seriously, wherever it is, it does look like many of the farms around here.

Nope- Not an organic farm in NY biggrin.gif

I'll guess somewhere in the eastern, upper midwest- Ohio or Illinois?

Single grain bin suggests a small farm- since the 1980s the number of small farms in the US has dropped in half.

By the looks of the barns probably not a dairy.

looks like several freshly planted wheat fields, or freshly harvested soybean fields.

Also appears to be several Alfalfa fields in the picture- the one in the foreground appears to be an older establishment that has not be very well cared for- there is a weedy patcha bout a third of the way across

So- How close am I? biggrin.gif

Oh Yeah- Great picture

Take a ride out through Lancaster County, PA and you'll see scenes like this.

No self-respecting Illini I know would ever think of Illinois as "upper, eastern, Midwest". But we are a forgiving people . . . even of New Yorkers!! laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

Buckeyeland, well, maybe!

 Actually, there are many areas of Pennsylvania that look like that. (My wife is from a very small rural community.) Remember the great line from James Carville about Pennsylvania--"Take away Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and you have Alabama." biggrin.gif But none of those areas are in South Philly.  rolleyes.gif  Great picture!

The hills are a bit taller in my part of Iowa. Maybe east of Des Moines...like Maine? Or Konekticut?
Kelly may be more familiar with Flatland farming. dry.gif
Don't see a privy either.  unsure.gif
I have 4 of those big blue spruce trees, though. #@$&!! needles.
