The national flag of Brazil flies above Somerset House as the delegation of Rio 2016 hosts a reception.
The flag design was the work of Raimundo Teixeira Mendes, with the collaboration of Miguel Lemos, Manuel Pereira Reis and Décio Villares. The green field and the yellow rhombus from the second Empire of Brazil were perserved. A blue circle with 27 white five-pointed stars replaced the arms of the Empire of Brazil. The stars, whose position in the flag reflect the sky over Rio de Janeiro on November 15, 1889, represent the union's federated units – each star representing a specific state. The motto "Ordem e Progresso" ("Order and Progress") is inspired by Auguste Comte's motto of positivism: "L’amour pour principe et l’ordre pour base; le progrès pour but" ("Love as a principle and order as the basis; progress as the goal").
I have been watching the first two stages of the Tour de France through Yorkshire (on the television) and the turn out was fantastic (about 2.5 million people) and Yorkshire was showcased magnificently. I have decided to watch it here in London tomorrow as my sister Hester watched in West Tanfield and had a fantastic time.
I felt quite patriotic watching all the Union Jacks and even though Great Britain is out of the Wimbledon tennis and well out of the World Cup it is good to feel like this once in a while!

The upper one is a flag with all swiss cantons.

The stars and stripes give a touch of patriotism to these tall windows. Even if the windows are featured on the condemned Goncho apartments in Washington, Iowa. Two dozen people were evacuated from the building on January 17, 2013, because toxic methamphetamine chemicals were discovered throughout. Sadly, some are now referring to the rural community as Methington, Iowa.

We recently installed this flagpole on the ministry property south of Tecate, Mexico. We bought the pole at the San Diego County Fair. It is telescoping in three sections. It's very well made.
Flying are the Mexico and Christian flags.

A garrison flag measures 20 x 38 feet... boot camp knowledge. Why the American flag was at half mast this day I don't know.
A war memorial accompanied by just about the largest French flags I've ever seen.
