I'm sorry to hear about your mom. :-(  Reminds me a bit of my dad.  :-(

The image you've done reminds me of one of the many small paper-mill towns in central Louisiana. Out in the middle of nowhere are these small towns, one road type towns, which no longer are prosperous because the paper-mill companies have have gone (they come back after decades when the trees have regrown). Few houses are there with large tracks of land where cows graze. They tend to be surrounded by pines.

The last town like this I been to I doubt anyone would have heard of Renderosity, called Elizabeth. To get to it you would have to drive 40 minutes or an hour through one lane semi-paved roads. Perfect for photos. The road would be covered under a canopy of Oak trees. The only brick building I remember was a fire station, had one road. There would be a house every few acres, and houses tended to have sheds, work areas, goats, chickens, and lots of cows. There was one house with a tree, an Oak, with a tire swing from an old tractor. Only the front part of the houses might have a nicely painted fence. Lots of flat land behind the houses. Easily 200 acres or more away the pine trees would begin. Barbwire fences would be just behind the first row of pines.

You bring back the memories.
