Lovely shot! It looks much like the area in the Southern Finger Lakes where my family is from. I try to eschew modern technology when feasible [hey kids! When I was your age I used to walk 3 miles through the snow, uphill both ways, just to reach the library to use their Encyclopedia. None of this “google search” for me!] but it has its uses.
Side story - here in the town where we live, Meg’s hometown, lived a famous architect, Alden B. Dow. One of those A. B. Dow mentored was a friend of my in-laws, and was the one who designed our house. So we are in the Mid Century Modern cult following. Periodically the A. B. Dow Home and Studio (museum) hosts a Saturday afternoon showing of some of the thousands of hours of “home movies” that Dow shot with his 16mm cameras. One showing included a long road trip with friends, Michigan to World’s Fair in Montreal to NYC and back home. Incomplete notes on exact routing and locations. I got a still image of one frame of farmland + hills in the background, Google told me where in Connecticut it had been shot. The museum docent who put the show on was suitably impressed that someone my age could find that.
