The heavens dictate
It looks like that in the photo, but it's really "the heavens declare". The same image can be found in a few places, including on this page: https://deebrestin.com/2014/05/the-lords-two-great-books-psalm-19/. Running an image search off that one hasn't taken me anywhere particularly useful though.

Seems like the best lead would be to try to identify that logo on the top of the letterhead and on the business card. Very blurry though.

The heavens declare the glory of God; the firmament shows his handiwork.
The thermometer is in Farenheit and it's a pretty mild day, around 70 degrees.
Looks like some decent forest cover in the window reflection.

I guess the thermometer shows the temperature inside?

the reflection outside the window could be anywhere green that has tower blocks but the cubicle setup alone made me think USA too tbh
― StanM, Thursday, 2 March 2023 20:14 (one year ago) link
otoh, IS this a cubicle? do they generally/ever have those wide windows (are they windows?)
― StanM, Thursday, 2 March 2023 20:17 (one year ago) link
I think it's a mirror?
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 2 March 2023 20:19 (one year ago) link
I think it's "The Heavens Declare The G(lory of God)", not dictate. Psalm 19
There appears to be a body of water in the reflection behind the photographer, and the light in the photos (and the manner of dress) looks decisively Carolinian, Georgian, Floridian

Oh, didn't realise Eyeball Kicks had already made that conclusion regarding Psalm 19, my apologies
a round mirror on the right too?

I'm intrigued by the flip phone - who still has those? Google tells me they're still commonly used in Japan, but this obviously isn't Japan. I wonder if there are any regions in the US where they're more common?

My guess is a small city somewhere in the Bible Belt. I'm guessing screensaver Bible quotes aren't so common on the East/West Coasts, and the family pics that suggest a warm climate

just to the right of the big vertical tear (where the panoramic thing did its job) at the bottom, there's like a rectangular semi transparant thing with a black flap/cover - what IS that? A tablet case without the tablet? Or something related to this person's job that I just don't recognize?
― StanM, Friday, 3 March 2023 09:03 (one year ago) link
oh - maybe it's the case for the tablet that's being used to make this picture, nevermind

Looking wintry and not so bible belt. Olde Worlde street lamps are quite distinctive, could be a clue. Grass is not very green, so somewhere that doesn't necessarily get a lot of rain. Another clue might be the strange way the double yellow lines start in one end in one line and start in another, that doesn't seem very typical
― Zelda Zonk, Sunday, 5 March 2023 22:17 (one year ago) link
looks like the us plains to me, somewhere churchy.

Have gone a street lamp rabbit hole and learned that the type featured here is known as a teardrop street lamp. But I can't find an exact match for it. Buildings all look administrative rather than commercial.
― Zelda Zonk, Sunday, 5 March 2023 22:38 (one year ago) link
The double yellow looks like it's for a left turn lane (people driving right to left can only enter the lane when it goes single line, and likewise for people driving left to right). So maybe a short block but not unusual.
Looks too cold to be US South/Southwest (I think the grass is dead because it's winter, not low rainfall), and the main building in view looks more like a gov't or college facility than a business.

Looks like the Court of Appeals in Atlanta.

federal government vibes from the building

These look like the right lampposts--Grand Rapids MI, but the one federal building there, the Gerald Ford Courthouse, doesn't look right

Lampposts are different, though stylistically in the same ballpark.

Columbus Ohio has streetlights like that, but - this one also has a light on the sidewalk side, and what looks like two cameras?
― Look closely, that is all. (doo dah), Monday, 6 March 2023 23:00 (one year ago) link
Yes, I couldn't find any pics of streetlights like that with a light on the sidewalk side as well. If we can find that, we may be on to something.

Jefferson County Revenue Department in Birmingham, AL! The mulch landscaping looked like pine straw, which is common in the southeast U.S. I tried Atlanta and a few other places before spotting that skyscraper in Birmingham.

I was telling myself that could be somewhere on the Hudson, and then I saw where the picture is hosted.

Also, I'd check nothing obvious comes up on Google Lens

Jefferson County Revenue Department in Birmingham, AL it is!
I was going to do a photo of the desk pointing the other way but it wasn't different enough from the first one. With pics like that I always wonder will someone see something I didn't even notice (afterwards I did wonder if the big A for Alabama on the right of the pic might lead someone there)
― Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Tuesday, 7 March 2023 04:44 (one year ago) link
nice one! saw that A but didn't think it was a clue (you can put anything on a license plate)

Brasher's Chapel ChurchChurch a week agoNot worth my time. The wolves and Jezebels are causing problems in the church, and the leadership is too weak to stop it. If you like to be talked about negatively and lies spread about you then this is the place you, else stay away. -10!!!
