The most significant clue is the mobile carrier '2degrees' visible in the top left corner of the iPhone lock screen. '2degrees' is a telecommunications company operating exclusively in New Zealand, strongly indicating the country.

The scene depicts a picturesque river flowing through an urban park, featuring a prominent weeping willow tree on the left bank and another tree with white blossoms on the right. The foreground shows a distinctive cast-iron bridge railing with a dark top rail and a lighter, intricate lower section featuring circular patterns.

This type of bridge railing is characteristic of several bridges over the Avon River in Christchurch, New Zealand, a city known for its 'Garden City' aesthetic and numerous parks. By comparing the visual evidence with Google Street View, the view from the Armagh Street Bridge looking east (downstream) over the Avon River provides an almost exact match.

The railing design, the large weeping willow on the north (left) bank, the river's flow, and the Victoria Bridge visible in the distance perfectly align with the image. The date 'Sun 17 May' is consistent with autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, where Christchurch experiences mild weather and trees like weeping willows retain their leaves or even show late blossoms.
