Flags in 9th of July square.
The flag of Salta was officially adopted on June 5, 1997.The chosen design has symbolic elements : the provincial coat of arms, the poncho of Salta, and a symbolic representation of the departments.
Current President lives in his own house though. Lots of vendors selling Coca leaves to tourists here. IMG_3750
The Polish flag is an unloved thing. I mean, it is used as a symbol for the nation, people get excited over it.
But they don't love it. You can tell, because the moment you experiment with it lots of people want to do violence against you. They don't love the flag, they love a stagnant image of themselves. And that is a different thing from love.

Prayer flags hang throughout the country. It is a generic prayer, woodblocked and then printed on fabric. The colors signify, sky, earth, water ,wind and living things and the prayer is for well being for all. The wind (or water) carries the prayers to the Heavens. We all need to wish for peace and tolerance of each other and as in Bhutan, Gross National Happiness.
Took a weekend trip to Austin, Texas - I found a few minutes here and there to get some photos from around this great town
this flag was flying on a lot of buildings
Indian Sands, Fla. I saw more flags per square metre (sorry, yard) than anywhere else I have ever been.
When we moved to a new location at the wye at Speer, we watched the excursion train pass through the wye in order to reverse direction and back into Cheyenne and got to watch it at slow speed. If you ever need location and time of the train, simply ask one of the several fellows with a hand walkie-talkie next to you; you'll get more info than you ever wanted. I noticed how spiffed it was all Simonized with the helpers and the new flag scheme. I don't know if you need a shot of the diesel helper all spiffed but the new flag scheme on the attached wrinkly metal.caught my eye. The art department worked overtime on that. Here is the shot I like with a slice of #844's tender on the wye. The #844 will be stored in the engine house and out of the sun. I got some of my other shots at the water tank here. They don't much need water - look at the yellow water tank car with the flag back of the tender. Eddie learned they would be heading for Cheyenne with the Frontier Days Special. Duh, same as every year for the Frontier Days Special. I had no idea they would sic the Brillo crew AND the Simonize crew on the train before the excursion. My exposure was darker than expected. The sky was devoid of anything so this marks yet another time I had to get through this on an #844 shot. I don't particularly need the practice as much as others I know! Lately, I prefer to modulate great clouds that I find; as if I hadn't already found some. Here, diesels shepherd the run but not for power (this engine can pull, thank you) but they are used to provide the safety power (dynamic braking - ceramic resisters over the engines burn off the current produced by the diesel traction motors) for the train thus guaranteeing arrival at the destination. And they help handle the yards.
The trailing cars carry dignitaries, crew, passengers and extra brakes on the excursion. This chunk of metal is really valuable at this time in history. I realize that I happen to live in a fortuitous spot and will wait until the next steam up. If it is cooler, steam will leak wherever possible and provide great shooting.
