It looks like a Mosque/temple on the left, and a Coptic church to the right, maybe? Flat, dry, limited foliage and reddish soil. Rectilinear stone building construction (& palm tree) make me think it's somewhere hot that industrialized in the '50s-'70s. Middle East or Northern Africa, maybe?

I cheated, and dammit, I could've gotten it if I'd stuck with the 'industrialized in the '50s-'70s' bit

Oil pipeline above the ground = permafrost. Cars look like Volvos. Sweden?
― remy bean, Friday, 2 September 2011 15:38 (twelve years ago) link
Not Murmansk. Not Sweden.

norway?

And that pipeline is likely sewage or water.
Love it - is there a city in Greenland?

Ilulisat is a good guess but incorrect.Man, northern towns in Greenland and Russia seem so much classier than the northern towns in Canada.
