Actually, I have been to different parts of western PA, and I like it very much. I am originally from up north, but I have lived in several places, including CA, TX, CO, and ME. I spent about three years in ME, and another three in CO--both great for photography (for obvious reasons).
Getting back to western PA...we usually visit friends in eastern OH (once or twice a year), and so I am well acquainted with some of the roads in western PA. Lake Erie is pretty nice, too. In addition to photography (and a few other things), I am also into geography. I just love what I call the "dead spots" on the map--lesser known or remote locales. Indeed, there is plenty to see in my general area. I suppose I got into photography through one of my other hobbies, railfanning. Have you ever heard of Sand Patch or Horseshoe Curve?...great spots for shutterbugs and railfans alike. I have been to both places (both in PA). There are certainly some tough subjects to shoot, and in my view trains are among the toughest--especially for those of us who use manual equipment. Prefocusing (and framing) for a moving train is quite a task...and quite exciting, too.
