No, not strawberry fields but a huge amount of Cranberry Fields (or bogs) in Massachusetts.
Thanks to “ironcladlou”, “Daniel Drucker” and many more.

Hey I can see my house from there! Really, I’m from Cape Cod, Mass, and go for bike rides by the cranberry bogs down here all the time. It’s really quite the sight, like a pond of red.
Yes, but can you zoom in on an individual cranberry?
This is were most of the cranberries for the whole world are grown from what I understand. Really is an amazing sight.
can you go in the cranberry fields (bogs) or do you just have to look at them?
Gretta: You wouldn’t be able to go into the cranberry bogs without some effort, because the area where the cranberries are (the red shaded part on an aerial photo) is surrounded by a trench (usually about 3-4 feet wide) that usually has standing water in it. (Effectively, a moat.) The cranberries themselves grow on squat, shrubby, vine-like plants, which are pretty dense and close together. So, you could go out there into the bog to get a closer look, but it’s not that easy, there isn’t much to look at, and you’d get your shoes and pants wet. (Besides, it would be tresspassing!)
