Hi Detlef; no I don't know where this picture was taken.
I thought that possibly the location could be suggested by the arms the men are carrying. We see a Piso Podang there and what looks like a Sumatra pedang; those spears; could they suggest a locale?

Those gentlemen seem to be Batak.

The spears appear to be not very distinct but the guy carrying them seems to have a lopah petawaran in his belt.

Regards,
Kai

Hello Kai and Rick,

yes, I've noticed the piso podang and the possible lopah petawaran but the right guy seems to wear a badik in his belt!?! And the pedang don't fit really as well. So my question to Rick.

Detlef
