It looks like North America to me, and either northern tier of states or southern Canada, even though the closest car appears to be parked for left-hand drive, notice most of the vehicles in the background, also the house construction, and the trees look like maples in spring to early summer.

As it's just a residential side street whether right or wrong about North America I don't have any other visual clues.

Also there's a flying saucer in the road near the first car.

Look at the Griselinia.
And a great crop of dandelions on the left.
The sky isnt cloudless
And that's an Irish looking manhole on the right.
Suburban US and Canadian houses are usually bigger.

Scattergun on.
County Sligo?

You got close with some of the buckshot but not close enough to give you collateral damage points!

The Thread is " Guess the Village/Town/City "! :rolleyes:

So it does! But then again it looks like many villages in most counties too!
But it is a long way from "here" to Clare!

Not close to Wexford either...

If ya dug straight down from "here" and emerged on the other side of planet earth allegedly you would come up here:

Hope this helps!;)
