    I thought something that looks like a war memorial in a golf course in a canyon would be easy... apparently not for me! I hope someone else is having better luck.

    @Mac, I thought the same when I made it, but you're right it's probably too hard.

    This one contains some more clues despite the poor resolution. Also it's not a war memorial.

    Nope. It's not even meant to be a girl, apparently. In any case, it's a monument to celebrate certain ties between 2 countries.

    It's killing me because I have definitely seen this picture before :/

    Is that the American and Australian flags?

    At first I thought it was the Transvaal saltire nut now I think it's the flag of Iceland.

    It is the flag of iceland. The rightmost flag, I don't know. The fact that it is blue on white might mean something, but other than that I wouldn't count on tracing it.

    I can give one further hint: The monument faces in a westerly direction, out to sea.

    The person depicted is an angel, the last flag is Mormon? I think?`

    Anyways, this a memorial in Herjólfsdalur - Mormon Pond, with a list of Mormon emigrants from Iceland to the US.

    Correct! Don't know about that 3rd flag. Blue on white is also a common theme in icelandic (municipal) flag, though this one doesn't seem to match that of Vestmannaeyjar.

    It does actually, you're right in it being Vestmannaeyjabæjar.
