I would have thought South Africa, but I can't see any similar shots
online.
It rings a bell but I can't point to it. Any reason for the portuguese
theory?

Somebody alreaady suggested the Voortrekker monument, but it's different.

Reason for the portuguese theory was that it was misfiled under Madeira
in an old photo album.
But thanks to someone in another group I know now it's in Montevideo,
Uruguay.

Greetings,

Chris
