i thought this an interesting combination of textures and colours:
a little snow on the hills, autumn yellows on the trees and green grass on a rather windy day unfurling the flags near the yukon river waterfront (out front of the visitor's centre) in whitehorse, yukon.

The Korean Demilitarized Zone is a strip of land running across the Korean Peninsula that serves as a buffer zone between North and South Korea. The DMZ cuts the Korean Peninsula roughly in half, crossing the 38th parallel on an angle, with the west end of the DMZ lying south of the parallel and the east end lying north of it. It is 250 kilometres (160 miles) long, approximately 4 km (2.5 mi) wide and is the most heavily militarized border in the world.
De Koreaanse DMZ (Demilitarized Zone, ofwel gedemilitariseerde zone) is een bufferzone tussen Noord-Korea en Zuid-Korea. Het is een soort IJzeren Gordijn zoals dat tijdens de Koude Oorlog in Europa bestond: aan weerszijden van de hevig bewaakte grens staan de Noord- en Zuid-Koreaanse legers klaar om zich te verdedigen tegen de vijand. De grens is 248 kilometer lang. De DMZ is 4 kilometer breed.

I've decided to (take the massive task of) redesigning flags - I know, I know, you're welcome : )
Anyway, I realise this could be a risky challenge to set myself, so please, don't hate mail me, saying that, I do want to know your reactions and thoughts, good or otherwise...
Antarctica - it's melting, needs help.
Anyway, what'd you think?
Oh - just incase you don't know what the original looked like - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Antarctica
Flag Day, or Dia de la Bandera, in Mexico symbolizes the pride that Mexicans have in their flag. Although they were colonized by Spain in the 1500s, the deep running pride for their country remains the same. The origin of the flag comes from the Aztecs, who believed that when they found the eagle perched on a nopal (prickly pear cactus) with a serpent in his talons that is where they were supposed to settle. That’s exactly what they did! The flags colors are green, white, and red. The green stands for hope and victory, and white stands for purity, and the red band represents the blood that was shed by their ancestors. The eagle on the cactus with the snake sits in the middle of the white band. Flag day is a day that Mexicans take to remember their country and how it came into being. In the schools, they teach the children about the origins of the flag and the nation anthem, and they often focus on the subject via TV shows and special programs.
Each year over 37,000 flags are placed on the Boston Common in memory of Massachusetts residents lost in all wars since the American Revolution. I took this image with my iPhone several years ago, but it still remains one of my favorites.
On the 15th of May, Somalilander's will choose Their Flag and Constitution, and they will show the nearest EXIT Riyaaaaaaaaale and the remains of Somaliland's most hated Udub Party's Faqash.

When A Loved One Dies
by Leon Knight
Poetry is the process
of cleansing my wound,
the tweezers
for removing
grains of sand
inbedded in my skin.
Poetry is antiseptic
painfully applied
before the wound festers
salve rubbed in
fear of infection.
Poetry is the stiching clamp
held between my teeth,
the pain killer
so I can sleep.
Poetry is acceptance
of future scars,
and aches on foggy nights.
Poetry is a way of surviving
when a loved one dies.
