Not sure.
The grey-scale of the photo suggests winter otherwise but that could just be the photographer.
There are no rivers or water behind.
There are forests which suggest it a rather small city.
Other adjacent buildings are smaller. This building is brand new. And huge.
It is a tall building on the edge of some place.

China or Eastern Europe would be my guess, but it would only be a guess.

Oatman's "wild" burros are the descendants of burros brought here by the miners in the late 1800s; when the miners no longer needed them, they were turned loose. Each morning they come into town looking for food. They wander the streets and greet the tourists. Burro pellets are for sale at many of the shops -- the burros will eat all day if you feed them. Shortly before sunset, they wander back to the hills for the night.

Oatman's still a great stop on old Route 66 - a fun, out of the way place to see whenever we're road tripping (a god diversion from the 40!).
In fact, it's at the beginning of one of the longest continuous stretches of the old road that still exists, and the landscape is spectacular!

Bertie the Brain, Powered by Additrons!
An early computer game, one of the first games developed in the history of video games. Built in Toronto by Josef Kates for the 1950 Canadian National Exhibition. The 4 m tall computer allowed attendees to play a game of tic-tac-toe against the computer. The machine had an adjustable difficulty level. The Additron was a unique tube made for the University of Toronto Electronic Computer (UTEC). A normal tube-based computer would require several tubes to perform addition, the additron used beam switching to perform the operations of a full adder in a single package. The Rogers 6047 tube and its variations could have revolutionized tube computing, allowing those computers to shrink by a factor of 10, but before it could really get off the ground in real designs, transistors, and later, integrated circuits would take over.

Ahhh, Jack and Marie! They were very nice people and we would see them at the store all the time. This is the pic he used to give out when people wanted an autograph. I think I still have mine.
