    Explanation
    An open windowed church in Jamaica. Although both countries are very religious, the giveaways here would be that Jamaica is largely protestant while Haiti is largely Catholic (hard to tell from this photo) and that the cemetaries in Haiti don't tend to be so close to the church and are generally very colorful. But that's stretching it - I wouldn't be surprised to see this church in Haiti.
