Hell Bastard refuses to fly the St Georges cross or the Union Flag so instead we had a rather nice pirate flag and some Spanish looking fellow.
Port Lockroy is a natural harbour on the Antarctic Peninsula of the British Antarctic Territory. After its discovery in 1903 by the French Antarctic Expedition it was used for whaling and British military operations (Operation Tabarin) during World War II and then continued to operate as a British research station until 1962.
In 1996 Port Lockroy was renovated and is now a museum and post office operated by the United Kingdom Antarctic Heritage Trust. Proceeds from the small souvenir shop fund the upkeep of the site and other historic sites and monuments in Antarctica.

I remember taking this photo last fall on one of those cold, dark October days that signal rains to come. It was near dusk when I came upon this small clump of purple aster and was surprised to find several honeybees frantically gathering pollen. I forgot about that day with the splendor of autumn leaves that came later, and was surprised to find any of the bees in focus because they never stopped moving.
The wind had come up, but it was a hot wind. It did blow the U.S. Flag and the Wyoming State flag out nicely though.
White flag & blue sky, blue flag and clouds - I got lucky with the atmospheric conditions with this one.
This flag has been flown in poor weather until it is in tatters. Seen on Barcells Street, Santa Clara, CA.
A bandeira galega moderna nasceu no S. XIX a partir da bandeira naval da Corunha, representada com a Cruz de Santo André de cor azul sob um fundo branco. Esta bandeira apresentava uns traços similares à bandeira escocesa mas com as cores invertidas. No ano 1891 a Cruz de Santo André foi modificada para evitar que fosse confundida com a bandeira da marinha imperial russa e ficou no formato que conhecemos hoje. Posteriormente os emigrantes galegos na América começaram a usá-la como bandeira nacional galega e já avançado o S. XX a banda original transversal procedente da Cruz de Santo André foi ressaltada com mais grossor para dar-lhe mais visibilidade e assim tornar-se finalmente a bandeira nacional civil da Galiza.

The American Flag
Flag of the free heart's hope and home!
By angel hands to valour given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
For ever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And Freedom's banner streaming o'er us?
Joseph Rodman Drake . 1795-1820

"The flag of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (Turkish: Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti bayrağı) is based on the flag of Turkey with the colors reversed and two horizontal red stripes added at the top and bottom. It was the result of a competition to find a new representative flag for the TRNC.
The flag of TRNC waves in the countries where TRNC has diplomatic relations, i.e. Turkey and the non sovereign Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic in Azerbaijan. The flag of the TRNC is used in opposition to the flag of Cyprus as the flag of Northern Cyprus. The local use of the Turkish flag is somewhat similar to the use of the Greek flag in the rest of the island." (From Wikipedia)
