About the flag:
Iceland's first national flag was a white cross on a deep blue background. It was first shown in parade in 1897. The modern flag dates from 1915, when a red cross was inserted into the white cross of the original flag. This cross represents Christianity.[2][3] It was adopted and became the national flag when Iceland gained independence from Denmark in 1918. For the Icelandic people the flag's colouring represents a vision of their country's landscape. The colours stand for 3 of the elements that make up the island. Red is the fire produced by the island's volcanoes, white recalls the ice and snow that covers Iceland, and blue for the Atlantic Ocean.

i think these were flag poles, although there were no flags. they just looked like giant telescoping antennas like you'd find on a radio.
A colored flag flying atop a bamboo pole generally means that an East Indian who is a Hindu lives in the house nearby and that the household held a jhandi, which is a ceremony of thanksgiving. Such ceremonies are held following some favorable development affecting a member of the family. Lord Rama is worshipped and Hanuman, who rescued Rama's wife, Sita, from captivity by Rawan is honored by the flag.

ARRC salutes flags of joining Estonia, Sweden, and Poland
A national flag raising ceremony at Imjin Barracks on Wednesday honoured the arrival of three new participating member nations. This October, Estonia, Poland, and Sweden has sent officers to join the permanent staff of Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps.
“Today marks a very special day in the history of the ARRC with the addition of these three nations. Their commitment is very welcome and a testament to the solidarity and success of a multinational approach to collective defence,” said Lt. Gen. Tim Evans, CBE DSO, commander of the ARRC.
“I enjoy the working culture the different nationalities. And every nation has something to offer that helps in understanding the HQ,” said Lt. Col. Pukk, a new plans officer from Tallinn.
Referring to Exercise ARRCADE FUSION 2015, Pukk said “This is important to Estonia because we are united with NATO and happy the HQ ARRC will be in the Baltic States.”
“In my short time here I have seen how all the nations work. Everyone works toward the same effort to develop a good plan that will work in everyone’s interest,” said Maj. Larbol, from Stockholm, Sweden
“Poland and the UK have a strong history. We are following similar priorities and values which are to ensure peace and stability,” said the Polish Army officer.
The additions mark a significant step in one of the most diverse, multi-national headquarters of the 9 NATO Rapid Deployable Corps HQs, all of which are capable to command up to 60,000 troops. This year the ARRC remains on standby as a Joint Task Force HQ for Small Land Operations, ready if called upon by the North Atlantic Council (NAC) and SACEUR. Currently, the ARRC is preparing for their annual training Exercise ARRCADE FUSION 2015 in the Baltics. Two more nations are scheduled to become permanent members of ARRC before the end of the year.

Playing around with single exposure HDRs again. I wanted to bring the sky and flag colour out a little more from the flat original shot. I'm not sure if I like the end result or not, it's looks a little garish.
