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.

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.
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.

One of the forms of protests of the current Israeli strikes on Gaza - a cardboard Israeli flag has been put down on Sharia Qeymaria here in the Damascus Old City, that it be tread to no end. Many of the passing pedestrians make sure to stomp audibly on it as they go by.

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.
