I don't think the US/Canada usually does that style of power pole, with three phases on a crossarm and no neutral below.

Barriers on what looks like a pretty low-traffic low-risk road too.

I would think somewhere Scandinavia or central Europe. NZ wouldn't put barriers like that up.

Rock wall near bottom of picture screams old.

The house is also something you definitely wouldn't see in NZ, I also think Scandinavia, specifically Norway since the others don't really have mountains by the water like that.

The house and pole line would fit in Quebec backcountry place or the maritimes, but the rock walls and the mountains don't fit as well.

Looks very Norwegian, and there seems to be a crossing on the road used to prevent sheep from leaving the area (while cars still can drive over it) which is also something we have in Norway.

Those crossings we do also have in NZ, a country with many sheep
