today is Portugal day. although it is only officially celebrated in Portugal, portuguese descendants throughout the world celebrate the holiday whether they live in Brazil, India, the US, Canada, another european country, or Macau.
i'm not a nationalist and i honestly believe the world is one big family, the net proves it. but i love my country it's part of who i am. and with the Euro 2008 going on the flag is everywhere you go, as people are showing support to our national team. go Portugal :-)
This image was a zoom shot taken just as the monsoon started to blow, yesterday late in the day. The fury of the winds and the quirky wind shear of a monsoon is shown in how these flags whip around. The American flag is a replacement for the one torn by age and monsoon winds in June, here. The rooftop ceiling vent would normal show separate vents when still, however the burst of winds make it spin to a blur.
To celebrate Flag Day on June 13, for the 8th straight year the U.S. Embassy's Public Diplomacy Section organized a competition with high school students to develop depictions of all 50 U.S. States and the District of Columbia. Nearly 300 enthusiastic high school students took part in the competition which took place at the Ambassador’s residence where they exhibited the displays they created to illustrate various representative elements of each of the states, in order to convey the message for this year’s theme: “America’s Strength: The Diversity of Its People”. First time participating, this year's high schools were: Gheorghe Lazar (Bucharest), Mihai Viteazul (Bucharest), Nicolae Balcescu (Oltenita), Decebal (Bucharest) and Ion Neculce (Bucharest). The winners received American books, music and movies (Lucian Crusoveanu / Public Diplomacy Office)
To celebrate Flag Day, the U.S. Embassy’s Public Diplomacy Section brought nearly 300 high school students to the Ambassador’s residence to exhibit the displays they created to illustrate various representative elements for a particular U.S. state – and the District of Columbia. Although the high schools participating this year were at their first experience, the tradition of elaborate projects was very well kept.
At this 7th edition on June 14 (the actual Flag Day celebration!), Embassy judges awarded prizes in the following categories: Best Overall – Rhode Island (Colegiul National de Informatica “Tudor Vianu”); Runner Up Best Overall – Ohio (Liceul “George Calinescu”); Most Creative/Original – Maine (Grup Scolar Constructii Montaj “Elie Radu”); Represents the State Best – Florida (Grup Scolar Constructii Montaj “Elie Radu”); Most Informative/Educational – Virginia (Grup Scolar Constructii Montaj “Elie Radu”); Most Fun – West Virginia (Colegiul German Goethe); Most Detailed – Iowa (Scoala Superioara Comerciala “N. Kretzulescu”); Best Presentation – Kansas (Colegiul National de Informatica “Tudor Vianu”); Most Attractive – Arkansas (Colegiul National de Informatica “Tudor Vianu”) and People’s Choice, in which the participants voted Maine (Grup Scolar Constructii Montaj “Elie Radu”) as their favorite.
The winners received American books, music and movies. All students then enjoyed pizza and sodas on the residence lawn.

I can't believe I lived here for over a month and never noticed the huge flag at the Harvey Milk Plaza.
I used 2 circ polarizing filters mounted one on the other to dramaticaly reduce the amount of light crossing the lens. Combined with a f22 aperture I was able to make these shots in the middle of a very bright sunny day.

Spent my Sunday shooting film in downtown St. Louis Missouri. This was early in the morning before the fog had cleared.

This little flag was tied to a little buggy used by the valet guys at Marina Jacks, Sarasota. Been awhile since I played around with selective colouring ~ not great but .....

This set of shots were taken at the funeral of former Wolves owner Sir Jack Hayward, a great man deserving of the wonderful send off he received from the fans and people of Wolverhampton.
