The Celtic Manor Resort, Coldra Wood, The Usk Valley, Chepstow Road, Newport (Casnewydd), Wales (Cymru), on Tuesday 19th of August 2014.
About this photograph.
My best friend and I stayed at the Celtic Manor Resort for a couple of nights, we had a room on the south-east side of the building, where we can see the M4 motorway, and also from our room, we could see the flag pole in the grounds of the resort.
On that day, there was a breeze, or just more than a breeze, enough to get this flag waving, and I decided to take as many shots of it as I can.
This is the national flag of Wales, or in their Welsh language: Baner Cymru. it is often called Y Ddraig Goch, meaning the red dragon.
It is described as a red dragon passant on a white and green field.
For details about the flag, see About the overall subject.

About the flag.
Baner Cymru or Y Ddraig Goch is the national flag for Wales.
To be clear, Baner Cymru is the national flag for Wales, just like the St George’s Cross is the national flag for England, and the St Andrew’s Cross is the national flag for Scotland. Somewhat akin to each American states having their own flags.
The Union Flag (also known as The Union Jack) is the national flag for the United Kingdom of Great Britain as whole, in a similar way as the Stars and Strips is for the whole of America.
The red dragon is said to imply the fearlessness of the Welsh nation, and dates back to as far as around 600 CE to 800 CE.
The modern flag design was adopted in 1953.
About Celtic Manor Resort.
The Celtic Manor Resort is a leisure hotel and resort, with spa and golf range, just outside of Newport (Casnewydd), in South Wales.
A manor house was built nearby in around 1860s, and was used as a hospital between 1930s to 1975.
The Manor House was bought in 1980s and went through redevelopment. A hotel was built, and later in the 1990s, a 400-room resort hotel was completed.

I see more state flags flown in Texas than any other state that I've visited. That's pretty cool. This US Flag and Texas Flag are both very large. They're located in front of the Taste of Texas Restaurant next to the Katy Freeway (I-10) in Houston. To gain some perspective, those are the tops of trees at the bottom of the frame. (Excellent restaurant, by the way).
I didn't know whether to post this. Tried several times and changed my mind. I went online and researched flag etiquette. This image is not intended to be disrespectful to the American Flag. I found this little flag washed up on my favourite beach after a recent storm. It is my most interesting beach find yet. We live 20 miles from Washington State, across the Juan de Fuca Strait. I gazed at this flag for awhile and wondered what story it could tell. Where did it originate? How far did it come? After this shot I rescued it and it now occupies a place in my photo room.

UK Union Flags fluttering in the wind during the London Olympics. Playing with the settings in my new D3200 to try to capture the transparency of these small printed plastic flags.
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

This was taken as we were walking from the Australian National Gallery in Canberra, towards Lake Burley Griffin... with the flag flying above Government House in the distance.

On the second day of my India adventure, I took a hike up to Flag Hill, where Tibetans have strung flags that have verses from their holy scripture. It was a breathtaking sight to see, the flags gently fluttering in close proximity. I took many great pictures of the flags.
What do you guys think?
It is difficult to convey the size of this flag. See the next photo (which is totally nondescript) which shows a portion of its shadow.
