Hi, this was found in an old photo album. I'd like to know where this
picture was taken.

Madeira ?
Açores ?
Portugal ?

or somewhere else?

Thank you,

Chris

Yes, there are similarities. However I this picture was taken around
1937 (that's the only thing I know for sure). At that time the
Voortrekker Monument was just about the Beginning of its construction.
And its made of granite whereas the monument in the picture seems to be
of iron/bronze.

Thanks anyway, Chris

Voertrekker monument somewhere in South Africa... (don't remember if
Transvaal -now Gauteng- or in Kwazulu-Natal...

Montevideo.
