Hard one. When you turn loose architects these days and wave enough money in their face, they'll put the same thing in either Sioux City or Goa. However, the vegetation looks semi-tropical. The hint here will be the telephone box, the only thing in the picture that was not designed by a pretentious architect.

But phone booths are usually mostly owned by the same company, operating only within one country, who will have their own unique style at all their locations. Easy to spot USA or Britain if there's a phone booth in the picture.

How strange. Every ground floor door is close and every window shuttered. There are no signs of any kind. Also, there's no people about and no indication that they've ever been there.

It's so pristine, so pure, so uncluttered that it looks like a movie studio back lot.

Is it?

Nope, not a movie studio or anything of the sort, it is an actual part of the city.

It brings to mind a Latin American country that still rigorously observes siesta, such as Argentina. The shadows show that it is midday. Everyone is asleep. There is an all-night supermarket in Mendoza that is open 22 hours a day. They close from noon to 2-pm.

Yes, that might account for it, but there doesn't appear to be any accounting for the lack of trash, automobiles, cigarette butts, bicycles or anything else which is indicative of human habitation. It looks like it's never been used! I don't recall ever being in a Latin American country that clean.

Hmmmm. There appears to be water and what looks like some sort of scupture on the extreme left.
