[QUOTE="LeftonGuy, post: 94132, member: 149"]"..a US Gov installation does seem likely..." Making tents more and more likely I think. I understand the appearance of a falling off of this "hill" on the right side, but the more I look at it the more I see tents (and no clues from the road, for example, of a "falling off"). The low details with those 'tents' as background, right next to the bottom of one 'tent," the angle of the "tent" peaks, no texture visible to me (such as shingles) make me think tents, and not roofs of houses....But I must admit it is very hard to tell. I also agree with previous comments about satellite dishes and photo defects. ET was here...LOL. Of course the type of photo offers clues to its age, pre Civil War probably almost an impossiblity making a 1861 to late 19th century date more likely. I would appreciate others comments about the age of this type of photo (and others), to educate me. Last comment for now - that platform in the foreground is offering cryptic clues I just can not decipher.[/QUOTE]
