I'm glad the mystery is solved.

In the English-speaking world, it's a Scotch Pine, or a Scots Pine. I had never read "Scots Pine" before today. I'm used to seeing them grow about 2 meters tall -- not as large specimens like the photo above -- since around here they're cultivated as Christmas trees.

But I would absolutely accept just "Pine" since I obviously have not earned that forestry badge.
