Looks a bit like Kansas ...

Sunflowers are a major crop in northern Iraq, where they are prized for  their oil and tasty toasted seeds. (This scene reminded me of Kansas, the  "Sunflower State,'' where I used to spend my summers as a child.) As you might be able to tell from the photo, it's been very windy, and the dust almost totally blots out the sun. The men in the background were working on an irrigation system.
