I was feeling a little embarrassed about the state of this flag when I suddenly realized it was not my personal flag!
The Flag of Ecuador flying over the Presidential Palace. Is it true that one can judge the peacefulness of a country by how close you are allowed to approach the residence of its leader? Quito, Equador.

Turks are fiercely nationalist and love their country (and rightly so), but sadly, and like most developing countries, this does not extend to finding a rubbish bin for their litter. That said, many Australia's will also inappropriately discard litter, if they think no one is watching.

*About "On This Day"*
I have way too many photos in my catalogue that never get seen, and for a while now I've wanted a way to bring out some photos that I never did anything with at the time I shot them. So, to keep them from gathering digital dust, I've decided to start a kind of "On This Day.." project with my Flickr, where I will (If I remember) edit and post photos from this day in the past, that wouldn't have otherwise seen the light of day.
I figured, since I'm always wanting other people and archives to post more of their unseen work, why not start with myself?
Today is Flag Day in the US.
No one made much of a deal about Flag Day in NYC, where I grew up. I actually didn't realize it was a holiday people celebrated until I moved up to the country. I've been here nearly 10 years now, and this weekend was the first time I crossed paths with a celebration. We ended up in Hudson at the very end of their parade, but just in time to see that it's a BIG DEAL. Bands playing, street food, people and cars all dressed up, even a small carnival. Next year we will make a point of going for the actual parade.
This automobile was parked at the end of the parade, and looked more like a carriage -- a horseless carriage, I guess. It was manufactured by the E-M-F Company which, according to Wikipedia, only exhisted between 1909 and 1912, and distributed its cars through Studebaker wagon dealerships.
Does one say "Happy Flag Day!"? If so, happy Flag Day!"

“When you go home
Tell them of us and say
‘For your tomorrow
We gave our today’.”
