Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses, yearning to breath free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

"Flag of your Country or State" The Monthly Scavenger Hunt #5 November 2011
93. Flag, 111 Pictures in 2011
Just realised it the end of November and I have only posted a few of my Scavenger Hunt photos. Not sure if I even have all the 15 items. Let's see.
Flag of Finland
Finnish: Suomen lippu, Swedish: Finlands flagga. Also called Siniristilippu, "Blue Cross Flag".
The blue coloring is said to represent the country's thousands of lakes and the sky, with white for the snow that covers the land in winter.

Singh-Ray Vari-ND (variable neutral density) filter set for maximum light attenuation. A Nikkor PC 28mm. f/3.5 perspective control shift lens was used to maintain perspective. Aperture 2 used for raw processing.
Proudly flowing in the wind.
The Giant Photo Scavenger Hunt:
1. Flag
About my trip to the Bahamas: Atlantis Honeymoon.
At first, I hated the person in the way, but I eventually found that it accentuated the flag with a proper crop.
San Francisco Bay
Utilizing a heraldic banner shape, this flag incorporates the rainbow and pink triangle combined into a unifying, welcoming symbol. The variant shape of this flag draws the eye while reflecting the history of triangle symbolism.
Flag Day is already a well-known and beloved competition among students from five high schools in Bucharest, organized by the Public Diplomacy Section. Participating for the first time, this year’s high schools (Mihai Eminescu, Nicolae Iorga, C.A. Rosetti, Mihail Sadoveanu and Dimitrie Paciurea) developed depictions of all 50 U.S. States and the District of Columbia.
Held in the Embassy’s courtyard for the first time, the 150 students exhibited the displays they created to illustrate representative elements for each of the states, all related to the history, culture and language of the Native Americans. The winners received American books and stationary and had a fun pizza picnic on the lawn.

This Flag was huge as it moved slowly as wind passed over it . It could have a been about 75ft long. The flag was a great reminder of what America stands for.
Flag Alley is the short path that links Gainsborough's Market place with Lord Street. It runs alongside the Town Hall, and has not really changed that much down the years, beyond the Town Hall being redeveloped with the loss of the stinking toilets that used to be down here. Compare with this early 1970s view, and this one from the 1960s.

Do you want a pallet flag, but don't want to repaint it year after year? Why not try your hand at some Pallet Flag Pyrography! Woodburning is a fun and inexpensive way to create a unique look for any wood project. This flag is a terrific example!
Options for this Pallet Flag Pyrography project:
I built the rectangular shape with a few pallet deck boards. I attached them to strips of wood to support the assembly.
You can approach this from one of two ways:
You can mask off your rows and then use a woodburning tool to burn alternating rows to the desired color you want using standard widths of deck boards.
You can cut narrower strips, using two tones of wood, so that the white strips are something like pine, poplar or maple. The strips you Woodburn can be of any darker material to start or an interesting wood grain.
Mask off the square for the stars and you can either freehand draw or use a template to draw your stars. You can burn the background in, or paint the stars on top of the wood burned area.
You can even have fun with decorative fasteners!
Finishing your Pallet Flag Pyrography project:
There are many options! After you do the wood burning, you could lightly sand to distress the look or lighten the overall effect. You could then stain the alternating stripes if you so chose. You will have to choose how to seal the project (if at all). It will depend on if this is primarily an indoor decoration, or if it is a piece of art for your garden or front porch for the neighborhood to enjoy. This is a project that is easy, but can be as creative as you want it to be! It could even be a good family project!
This was taken in August last year, but I came across it tonight looking at old photos. Seemed a perfect way to "end" my posting for the night.
Happy and safe 4th of July to everyone.

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)
