Location ID Help

[NW Mailing List]

Just to throw another consideration in the mix... I found the weather 
for Lynchburg in 1957.  They had a hot summer followed by a long cold 
snap for a couple of weeks in Aug.  That might have affected the 
vegetation.

Interesting reading at.... 
https://weatherspark.com/history/30807/1957/Lynchburg-Virginia-United-States

And it looks like there are still apples in the tree in the upper left 
corner and leaves on the trees in the background.  Apple time is 
Sept/Oct if I recall correctly.

Just wish that photo was in color!!!   ;-)

Take care
Bill
