the average size of cars is smaller and the chance of finding a sport
utility vehicle is much smaller. There is also a standard frame
truck to the right-another sign. Plus, I see a distribution transformer on
a pole (europeans try to avoid this whenever possible) and last, but not
least, that transformer is single-phase. Distribution transformers
in most of western Europe are usually 3-phase. Plus, you don't
usually see dumpsters with that shape in Europe (though this is just
a subjective appreciation).
So taking all things together, I'd say I'm 95% sure that it is in
the U.S., somewhere without severe winters (no below-freezing
temperatures - look at the trees).
We have quite a number of detectives on the list ;)
