Found at The Similepedia Blog; I believe the photo was taken in Romania. (Multumesc = thank you)

muah ha hah ha! I love photos that show the modern world as a confab of almost diametrical opposites.
I am using that as my wallpaper until something more fun comes along. thanks for posting it.

It’s an amusing picture, and quite a comment on Eastern Europe and the Balkans. However, having lived for some time in Romania, I wonder whether it really was taken there. Collar harness is almost unknown in Romania, where the Hungarian-stype breastcollar harness is almost universal. (I suppose that a Romanian might have bought a collar abroad, or been given one by a foreigner.) Also, Romania has just shortsightedly banned horses on main roads and in towns, so I doubt whether the police (usually all too quick to harrass the peasants) would have allowed a cart anywhere near a McDonald’s (whose Romanian outlets are all urban). I’d be tempted to guess that the photo may have been taken in the Ukraine. However, the photographer presumably knows where he or she took the picture. It will be interesting to learn more.
