Love this look and feel. There are so many options for one click adjustments! Like the fact that it can do HDR effects with single image.
Various British historic, provincial, and county flags, seen here flying at 'Military Odyssey' in Kent, England.
Three of the flags seen here date from the mid 17th century, when Britain was for a short period a republic without a monarch, and ruled by Parliament. Other flags are of England, Wales, Cornwall, and Essex.

I thought about bringing our passports in case we wanted to visit Canada, but realized we wouldn't have had time. I regretted planning so little time in each place, a lesson I hope we remember next time we plan our trips.
Looking around the map, I became intrigued by Point Roberts, the US tip of a Canadian peninsula. After a little bit of Wikipediaing about the border, I came across the Haskell Free Library and Opera House, a building on the border between Quebec and Vermont, complete with a painted line through the building showing where the border is.
Looks like we've got a few field trips in our future...
The three flags flying over Canyon de Chelly are those of the Navajo Nation, the State of Arizona, and the United States of America.

It seems, that we love to create signs, symbols, icons and flags for everything. For glory and blame, love and hate, creation and destruction. It feels better when you are under a flag, that gathers the co-thinkers. And, paradoxically, the same flag could mean some completely opposite things to different people in different periods of time. The cross – the symbol of Love and Self-sacrifice can be found on crusaders' flags; swastika – the solar symbol, became the sign for genocide. We must be careful with our flags and, especially, with our intentions.
I do believe, that our world is a beautiful place full of talented people, who should live in unity and peace, sharing the feeling of beauty and respect for its diversity.
And by the way, it is always better to remember that, in the first place, all the iconic images are pieces of great talent of somebody's artistic expression. I do enjoy, appreciate and respect this visual beauty, though not necessarily share any of the implied meanings.
Let's live in the world of conscious peace!

Well, color me confused and embarrassed. I guess that I am officially in that phase of my life where others (and even myself) may question my mental faculties … and, obviously, for good reason. You see, almost two weeks ago, the number B4 was drawn in my Flickr Bingo 2 group. This number is to be illustrated by images of flags. Every day, I’d go into the group and see photos of flags. I’d think to myself, “That’s an easy shot, too bad I don’t have it.”
:::Note: This is the embarrassing part::: [self-conscious laugh] Well, it seems that, when we got to choose our own numbers for our cards, I DID pick this number because it was an “easy” one. You’d think I’d check the darned card to see if it was on there, wouldn’t you? I mean, that would have been the most logical way of doing it instead of relying on my memory. Oh! Well! Maybe it’s time to up that dosage of my Aricept.
Anyway … Here is my belated official entry into Week 7’s assignment for Flickr Bingo 2.
Anglosphere Flag is the combination of USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand's flag.
United we stand, divided we fall.
