Good observation about the trees, Herb. The scene does look like central Pa. 



Also, note the freight cars on the railroad siding in the distance, and what appear to be cables running from the hopper car  to higher elevations on the hill.  The many rocks on the hill suggest a construc tion or mining operation.

Speaking of the terrain, I noticed last night when you first posted this 
that the trees at the top of the hill, along the ridge, are normally found 
in Western Pennsylvania. They appear to be very large conifers which 
usually are not seen dominating the hilltops in the Pittsburgh area. I was 
thinking maybe further East in the "high mountain" regions of Pennsylvania. 
Just a thought.
