The flag of France, Canada present and the Red Ensign of Canada in use at the time of the battle, I believe this is the only place in the world that that flag is flown in an official capacity

Great photo.  You should have saved the photo with the question name the flags and the monument in background.

Thanks for history lesson Lyle     ( most interesting ).... Cheers Don

Your turn Don.

The Allward house is not a Museum it is the home of the Canadian Parks manager, I don't recall the term but Canadian Parks personnel live at the park and rotate back to Canada after their service there.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I have an 8 x 10 of this one in my library. The sheep seem symbolic of the battle

Better throw out a bone Don because so far not even the down under crowd has a guess.

I'll guess Eden

I will guess Botany Bay, but the background doesn't look right to me.

Well Done Lyle.......

 

There was a huge storm rolling in, and were killing time before boarding  the Spirit of Tasmania 

 

Spirit of the Sea Sculpture as a 700kg bronze statue 

on the breakwater at the mouth of the Mersey River in Devonport in 2009  The Spirit of Tasmania Ferry pasts by it

Even before it was installed it divided public opinion into those who loved it or hated it.

At the time, it was believed to be the State’s most expensive public artwork costing $250,000.

 

Cheers Don

That is nowhere near Canada. Again I would go east but those down under would go west.

originally a hunting lodge     but with 200 rooms and 7 halls one would get lost

 

Moritzburg Castle near Dresden....

 

Like the aerial shots of the castle a grand building

Was it bombed during the war?  It looks almost too perfect.

From Google... it doesn't seam so...... Dresden it's self did very much so....

[Blackduck59]

Feels like we are playing alone tonight Don.

I don't think it was bombed, it really isn't a target. The Meissen porcelain factory is close, if that was a target.

Have a great rest of your day, it's 2255 hrs. here on the smoky wet coast so be well. I'm going to hit the rack.

Dresden was badly bombed in the war.   I visited the Meissen porcelain factory with its beautiful china. I'll do some research. Sleep well!
