Even though I currently live in Atlanta which is an industrialized southern city and have seen different parts of the South, I still think of the south as a place with plantations and farms that are extremely spread out. My roommate is from Tyrone, and when I went to visit her, I saw what I consider to be the "real" South. This picture is a picture of the landscape at my friends house. When I was younger I lived in Israel in an extremely populated town, so when I moved to Massachusetts everything seemed to be far, but when I came to the South the distance between neighbors and the amount of empty land was larger than anything that I have ever seem before. When I came to my roommate's house I was amazed by the way that her mile long dirt road driveway and the many farms in her street fit my picture perfect idea of the South. Her land consists of a hundred acres which seems significantly large compare to the amount of land that people own in the north. When I think of the South I think of large unpopulated land full of trees and farms.
