If this could be found with keywords, I'd like to know. Thanks. No keyword was needed: I knew it had to be the Mexican border from photos, news, movies, etc. Then all you needed was to find which section it is. For this you can go down on a random basis and try to check out the terrain for appropriate hills in the appropriate direction. I chose this method and found it in about 10 minutes.

First I didn't recognize it as a border (there are long fences that aren't borders) and started a long keyword search instead. Once I knew it was the US Mexican border, I started "scanning" it from the east and checked all the horizontal parts (east-west). There are many possible candidates. Of course the place was way out west, where I didn't suspect there were that many "mountains" near the border - in my mind it's kind of flat... learn something new every day! I also learned that mountain in the backgorund is the highest mountain in the Sierra Madre.

Solution: Somewhere near the USA/Mexico Border in the city of Tecate, Mexico. As hhgygy said, no keywords were involved in this kind of puzzle. I just wanted you to guess where that fence was, and to search it. With the 3D terrain on, starting from West (you had 50 percent chances), it is not that hard to identify the mountain in the background Then it's just a matter of finding the exact spot. I'm not saying this was easy, actually I didn't think anyone could find this before the first hint, but you guys are too good and proved me wrong

Once you figure out the fence is the important thing, not the basketball hoops in spite of the title, not anything else in the image, that the fence is really a border, that it is a border between Mexico and the US, that it is more to the west than to the east where there are other mountains and east-west border fences, this was a walk in the park!
