Guess what this is a photo of!

I agree, it does look like a lighthouse, but that is not what it is.

It is a monument to a group of people from a major world event.

Looks tropical and rugged. Is it in the Caribbean?

 

[phinz]

It is not in the Caribbean.

 

[Cooksie]

How about Australia? Maybe Cairns War Memorial in Queensland, Australia?

 

[phinz]

It is not in Australia.

In America?

 

[phinz]

That depends on your perception of "America."

I've spent a few calories om this one and have come up empty.

That depends on your perception of "America."

umm, land that comes under its jurisdiction, I'm losing calories now lol
however ..one more try, an island somewhere?

 

[bethzaring]

is it in South America, something commemorating a sailing event?

 

[phinz]

It does not commemorate a sailing event, but it *is* on an island.

 

[les]

The wind blown trees suggested an island...which was the easy part...I asked if it comes under American jurisdiction...-so we get a geo idea-

 

[phinz]

American jurisdiction? Do you mean South American? Central American? North American? America's a really big place...

 

[les]

You got us on this one...I give up

 

[phinz]

You give up too easily. It's an island. It commemorates/memorializes something, which was a major *world* event. It's not in the Caribbean. It is part of the Americas, depending on how you look at it. There is another, much larger, much more famous (some might say infamous) monument at the same island.

Here's another picture:

Aha! The word "infamous" (December 7, 1941, a day that will live in infamy) helped a lot! Is it the Haleiwa War Memorial in Oahu by any chance?
