Doesn't matter where you live, we all are alike....we all need to be treated like we are equal. We all need to be friends to survive in this world.
I took this in Canada, and I now wonder, why don't we (the USA) have flags of our neighbors? Then it makes me wonder is Canada doing this out of fear? Or is Canada really forgiving after all of the Canadian jokes that we say? We all need to be friends and not be overpowering and rude!

This is a single photo framed as I saw it - I did not splice identical halves in Photoshop. It really looks like this in the world.

When Mildred and Richard Loving were arrested in July 1958, in Virginia, for violating a state law that banned marriage between people of different races, such laws had been on the books in most states since the seventeenth century. But the Lovings never expected to
be woken up in their bedroom in the middle of the night and arrested. The documentary brings to life the Lovings' marriage and the legal battle that followed through little-known filmed interviews and photographs shot for Life magazine.

I had a fabulous shoot this night at Fisherman's Wharf in Victoria, BC. These fishing boats are so photogenic, and the houseboats on the other side of the wharf are just as amazing.
The shots for this 8 exposure panorama were taken between 1/20-1/5 seconds, all with aperture priority f/11 and ISO 400, using my Nikon D600 and 50mm lens. I used my Manfrotto pistol grip tripod head, rather than my pano head, so I levelled the camera with the D600's built in horizon to get as level as possible.
All 8 shots were corrected in Lightroom 4, then output as 16 bit TIFFs and stitched together in Hugin using the Lambert Cylindrical Equal Area (8) projection.
Final round trip back into Lightroom to balance the sky's brightness across the whole range.
42 megapixels (11410 x 3680), 336 MB compressed TIFF, FOV 126 x 41 degrees.
Nikon D600, Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D lens, 1/20-1/5 second exposures at f/11, ISO 400. Stitched in Hugin, Lambert Cylindrical Equal Area (8) projection.

Charles Sumner(January 6, 1811 – March 11, 1874) was an American politician and statesman from Massachusetts. An academic lawyer and a powerful orator, Sumner was the leader of the antislavery forces in Massachusetts and a leader of the Radical Republicans in the United States Senate during the American Civil War and Reconstruction, and the counterpart to Thaddeus Stevens in the United States House of Representatives. He jumped from party to party, gaining fame as a Republican. One of the most learned statesmen of the era, he specialized in foreign affairs, working closely with Abraham Lincoln. He devoted his enormous energies to the destruction of what he considered the Slave Power, that is the scheme of slave owners to take control of the federal government and block the progress of liberty. His severe beating in 1856 by South Carolina Representative Preston Brooks on the floor of the United States Senate helped escalate the tensions that led to war. After years of therapy Sumner returned to the Senate to help lead the Civil War. Sumner was a leading proponent of abolishing slavery to weaken the Confederacy. Although he kept on good terms with Abraham Lincoln, he was a leader of the hard-line Radical Republicans.
As a Radical Republican leader in the Senate during Reconstruction, 1865–1871, Sumner fought hard to provide equal civil and voting rights for the freedmen (on the grounds that "consent of the governed" was a basic principle of American republicanism), and to block ex-Confederates from power so they would not reverse the victory in the Civil War. Sumner, teaming with House leader Thaddeus Stevens, defeated Andrew Johnson, and imposed Radical views on the South. In 1871, however, he broke with President Ulysses Grant; Grant's Senate supporters then took away Sumner's power base, his committee chairmanship. Sumner, concluding that Grant's corruption and the success of Reconstruction policies called for new national leadership, supported the Liberal Republicans candidate Horace Greeley in 1872 and lost his power inside the Republican party.
Scholars consider Sumner and Stevens to be among America's foremost champions of black rights before and after the Civil War; one historian says he was "perhaps the least racist man in America in his day."[1] Sumner's friend Senator Carl Schurz praised Sumner's integrity, his "moral courage," the "sincerity of his convictions," and the "disinterestedness of his motives." However, Sumner's Pulitzer-prize-winning biographer, David Donald, presents Sumner as an insufferably arrogant moralist; an egoist bloated with pride; pontifical and Olympian, and unable to distinguish between large issues and small ones. What's more, concludes Donald, Sumner was a coward who avoided confrontations with his many enemies, whom he routinely insulted in prepared speeches.[2]
Biographer David Donald has probed Sumner's psychology:[3]
Distrusted by friends and allies, and reciprocating their distrust, a man of "ostentatious culture," "unvarnished egotism," and "'a specimen of prolonged and morbid juvenility,'" Sumner combined a passionate conviction in his own moral purity with a command of nineteenth-century "rhetorical flourishes" and a "remarkable talent for rationalization." Stumbling "into politics largely by accident," elevated to the United States Senate largely by chance, willing to indulge in "Jacksonian demagoguery" for the sake of political expediency, Sumner became a bitter and potent agitator of sectional conflict. Carving out a reputation as the South's most hated foe and the Negro's bravest friend, he inflamed sectional differences, advanced his personal fortunes, and helped bring about national tragedy."
Sumner was the scholar in politics. He could never be induced to suit his action to the political expediency of the moment. "The slave of principles, I call no party master," was the proud avowal with which he began his service in the Senate. For the tasks of Reconstruction he showed little aptitude. He was less a builder than a prophet. His was the first clear program proposed in Congress for the reform of the civil service. It was his dauntless courage in denouncing compromise, in demanding the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Act, and in insisting upon emancipation, that made him the chief initiating force in the struggle that put an end to slavery.
I had thought that this would be a no brainer for Equal but it turns out that out old style 4oz weight is actually a couple of grams over weight.
