    Ok man, that's not very nice of you.
    This is an image of Jan Fabre's sculpture Searching for Utopia.
    That thing has been traveling around as far as I know.
    So you want us to figure out where it was when this particular photo was taken, though the photo shows little else.

    So I had to dig out the itinerary of the artifact and I'm guessing it's Namur, Wallonia, Belgium.

    Well, I didn't know that thing has been travelling. It is indeed Namur though, it's at the front of the citadel. Visited it this week, pretty nice town.

    Thermopylae it is and specifically this is the tomb of the 300.
    How did you figure out?

    It looked like a battle memorial to me and it's one of the most famous Greek battles. There are mountains in the background and I remember reading that the geography of the area has changed and the pass isn't narrow anymore so that matches.

    I'd have guessed it was a koala, but I assume it's some kind of rodent then?
