Hmmm…I see construction, but naming the area would be pure guesswork. So I’ll go for Argentina. Cos of the hats.

I’m betting South America too… but honestly, the first thing that came to mind was that infamous NY Times photo essay where the house interior under construction had it wooden beams all “parallelized” in Photoshop for symmetry.

Thanks Mark. A quality guess. When I first it I thought maybe America deep south. Anyone else?

Hi Tim,

thanks for that. When you discovered where the photo was taken, were you surprised?

Two men preparing shuttering/formwork for concrete, not sure what they are building, not sure which country.
