The Shell gas station features a "V-Power" sign, common globally but often found in specific layouts in Southern Africa. The architecture of the surrounding buildings and the paved curb style suggest a location in a major city in South Africa. The bright, clear sky and vegetation are consistent with a high-altitude, sunny climate like that of Johannesburg. I am reasonably sure this is in the Gauteng province.

Country: South Africa, City: Johannesburg.

The traffic light design is very characteristic of South Africa, often seen in urban centers. The rocky, dry hill in the background is a common feature of the landscape around Johannesburg and the Witwatersrand area. The architecture of the brick building and the general layout of the Shell station confirm my previous suspicion. I am confident this is in the Gauteng province.

Country: South Africa, City: Johannesburg.
