Hmm, I suspect nobody's going to get this one (or perhaps nobody fancies guessing?)...
So, to get things moving again, I'll reveal that the picture above was taken at the Roman Villa at Minori on the Amalfi coast. The room is apparently a nymphaeum-triclinium: the water cascaded down the 'stairs' at the back and flowed around the decorative basins in front of the seating couches; diners could presumably dabble their hands in the water as they ate, or even float dishes in the basins, perhaps... More pics of the triclinium here.
Meanwhile, an easy one for anyone who fancies continuing. Where's this tree?:
