That could well be in america with all those overhead lines, driving on the right, type of trees? hills, 
Your home town? :-)
Cannot figure out the writing on the street :-)
Cracks in the road surface..
Is that reddish brick building on the left your company?
Restaurant on the right, Pedestrian crossing without lights..
Some human being too...
Likely earth..
