Ostrobotnia Student Association Building.

"The architectural office of Palmqvist and Sjöström got off to a flying start when it won all three prizes, and even received the lone purchase, in the design competition for the building of the Ostrobothnian Student Association in 1910. Born in Kalajoki and educated in Oulu, Palmqvist’s own roots lay in Ostrobothnia.

The Ostrobothnian Student Association´s building, familiarly known as ‘Botta’, represents a clear return to 19th century ideas. Its symmetrical and robust cubic appearance, prominent cornice, slightly retracted top storey and handsome gambrel roof are features that became increasingly common in the 1910s and 1920s, ones particularly typical of architecture in Etu-Töölö. The judicious use of red granite as a component in the façades clearly marks the building as a continuation of the art nouveau era. Particularly noteworthy as well are the playful tops of the half-columns on the main façade featuring various pipers. Following the principles of classicism, the columns indicate the principal interior space of the building, in this case, the ballroom, which probably also explains the choice of pipers as decoration."

Good morning. Sorry for running so late today, but I got sidetracked uploading and reviewing photos I took yesterday while on a field trip in search of butterflies. Which brings me to these two photos of wild Iris known as Blue Flag (Iris virginica) that I photographed along the edge of a small pond I stopped at on my last leg of the trip to look for dragonflies.

Strangely I almost didn't photograph these flowers as I just about had it with bug bites and the only lens I had with me was my 75-300mm telephoto. But these beautiful wild Irises caught my eye and I couldn't resist taking a few quick shots before calling it a day and heading home. Now I'm glad I did.

Thank you for visiting...and I hope you have a truly great day.

Okay, so the flags are actually flapping in the wind, not at rest...but this was taken at a rest stop along a highway.

Selon fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drapeau_de_la_France#Blanc

celui-ci montrait la "Croix blanche de Saint Michel, opposée à la croix rouge des Anglais, sur fond bleu, couleur de la chape de Saint Martin et des capétiens. La guerre de Cent Ans l'érige en drapeau militaire de la France."

On peut penser que des variations mélant les 3 couleurs ont pu exister avant d'être officialisés quelques siècles plus tard

Dans le cadre d'un évènements johannique l'ancien drapeau de L'Acadie fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drapeau_de_la_France#/media/File:Ol... semble un bon compromis.

On évite ainsi à la fois les fleurs de lys à connotation trop royalistes au goût de certains et l'actuel drapeau républicain anachronique et qu'il serait "politiquement incorrect" d'associer à celle qui fit courronner son Roy.

De plus ses formes géométriques simple le rendent moins complexe à réaliser que l'étendard "Jhesus Maria" ou les armoirie de Domrémy.
