Either way, a very unusual photo.

The photograph has had no information added and has a post card back so the date and the location are conjecture on my part. However, it has a British type divided back with the words Post Card rather than Carte Postale so I am leaning towards India rather than the Middle East. It could of course have been taken in Malta or Salonika.
