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.
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.

Storm Ciara is blowing outside; it is quite windy here but it seems to be worse elsewhere.
I'm flying this flag which I've adopted as our "house flag" as my daughter visited me yesterday.
I set the camera on f/8 and took some shots on a day with interesting clouds. Because I exposed the sky I had to lighten the flag to bring out some color.
No rule of thirds here. I centered the pole hopefully to make it the focus of the image.

Cotton flags made in Eastern Europe, probably East Germany, with Communist era symbols that became obsolete upon the demise of the Soviet Union
Four Republic of Ireland tricolours can be seen flying in this frame; overall we counted more than a dozen in view of the wall. While Derry is part of the UK, we saw no Union Jacks on this side of the Foyle. On the other side, the "Waterside" district, a loyalist district, we saw Union Jacks in abundance.
The divide remains, and clearly so in its symbols.
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)
You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
Grand Ole Flag

One of my favorites. This flag was torn to hell from years of use and still flying. Earlier, I complained to the Iraqi soldiers to take it down, but now I'm glad they didn't.

The white flag flying over Castillo de Sohail is actually the Spanish flag, but in infrared the colors disappear, giving the look of surrender.
