Morning all.
The reference to troughs may relate to politicians, so perhaps the Old Government Buildings, Wellington, NZ? Only have a front view, so still looking.

Looks like Parliament House in Hobart Tasmania.
Photo taken from the Customs House Hotel? (Looks like it has been refurbished since your photo)

Brilliant Sméagol! Yes, the Tasmanian Parliament building taken from the Old Customs House Hotel. Tasmania previously known as Van Dieman’s Land.

Here goes!
The photograph was taken in 1982 and is a digitised copy of a slide so quality is not brilliant. However the street remains largely unchanged in the last 36+ years.

I agree Ex A, my initial thoughts were New Mexico, the scrub hill looks like that area, is that building in the background facing us a factory of some sort.

Not New Mexico but close!
As for the building in the background, it is now a sports camp but was a school (I think!)

Looking around Arizona and finding tantalisingly similar, are we on Route 66 by any chance?
Re: The Smokin' Hot Where On Earth Thread Mk III
A dumb but pertinent question: was that water caused by rain or some bloke had his car washed?

Not Arizona either.
As to the water, I honestly cannot remember, 36 years is a long time for such details.
A clue:
There is a narrow gauge railway nearby!
