Poll the city- 73- Conservative

Guess the country (1959)

Bonus: Guess the nationality of the person in the pic. His dressing was very conservative even by 1950s. (He was on vacation with his son, in the next thread.)

My comment: Extreme colonialism is common in these group of people, they treat anyone inferior as almost "slaves". They usually have luxurious houses opposed to those in that "idyllic fertile farm". Often they became almost impoverished later in the 20th century--- and migrate to developed nations.

OK. Not Argentina.

For sure Argentina is the most propable guess when I first glanced this pic... those mountains, those vegetation, resembles those in Mendoza. Well that person is very civilised and conservative.

The picture was taken around 1915 at Karolitskhali River in the Caucasus Mountains near the seaport of Batumi on the eastern coast of the Black Sea.
