I think with my photo posting history,most people would immediately say NZ.

I had good success with the guess the season thread, though. I was able to choose plenty of photos that had a season-less quality.

The Georgia coast?, for your one.

ghost-likin - Chile, at around 44"S?

yup. Birmingham, Alabama

the large palm, called "Sabal Birmingham" in the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, around 1978.

they are a hardier subspecies of Sabal capable of surviving temperatures of 0°F or even lower.

ironically they all died in the 1980's. apparently the variety called "Birmingham" don't actually do that well in Birmingham.

for determining where the picture was taken, for me anyway the Loblolly pines are a dead giveaway at least for being an inland location. no way that could be coastal Georgia which (along with southern parts of Coastal South Carolina and most of Florida) is dominated by Slash pine and Longleaf pine which are not in the photo. also the evergreen bushes in the background are a variety not typically seen in the more mild coastal areas of the South.

how bout this:

yes. São Joaquim, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Cfb.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/São_J...hy_and_climate

an otherwise warm climate though. i'm guessing the set up for cold fronts can bring precipitation after the temperatures drop. seems to happen once or twice a year. unlike the US where a cold front is always followed by low humidity and strong high pressure. Coastal Georgia/South Carolina sees similar average winter temperatures and a much lower record low but snow is very rare there. only happening once every 5-10 years.

I think its because of Altitude,the temperature drops fast with the cold front.

And Southern Brazil is very unstable year round talking about rain.

In winter this combination can bring some heavy snow to the highlands like in 2013.
