These flags were up all over town when I was in the Philippines. They made the neatest sounds and shadows.
.A detailed description of this structure is given by F.S. Mackenna in the Kist, vol. 22, 1981. with an Appendix in Vol. 24. According to Mackenna Its design is attributed to William Adam c 1747 and the building dates from 1749.
It is built over a large boulder in the hillside from which a natural spring issues. The stream from the rock is collected in an oval rock-cut basin at the foot. A notch in the front rock wall of the basin permits an overflow into a small shallow basin cut into the flagged floor, from which it is conducted by a narrow winding channel in the floor to the outside edge of the pavement. The overflow now falls into a small hole in the channel (seen in the photo just outside the line of the gate) before it reaches the edge.
It is a beautifully built classical structure. The interior has an arched roof and the floor is paved. The blocks, apart from the keystone, surrounding the arched doorway and above it, are decorated with vermiculation. The roof has stone slabs and is curved at the rear. Carved graffiti are present on some roof blocks and on at least one side wall. The finer graffiti have been suggested by Mackenna to have been the work of the stonemasons.

Beautiful Place. Amazing People.
I guess there might be a street in central London where there are no flags...... I haven't seen it yet! A walk along Piccadilly towards Leicester Square shows you the flags of all nations, giant triangular olympic banners, union jacks by the hundred, and a scattering of olympic rings. This display is on the lower part of Regent Street.
There are officially two flags of Bavaria: the striped type, and the lozenge type, both of which are blue and white. Both flags are historically associated with the Wittelsbach family, which ruled Bavaria. [1]
Both horizontal and vertical flags with stripes or blue and white lozenges without arms can be considered official for use as state and civil flag and as civil ensign (on lakes and rivers). The variants defaced with the arms are not only unofficial, but not considered legal. However, the de facto used civil flag is in most cases a lozenge-style flag with the arms.
The exact shade of blue has never been set in stone, but most flags used by the public are approximately RGB 0-204-255; official use something closer to RGB 0-128-255. The lonzenges are neither set in number, except there must be at least 21, and the top right (incomplete) lozenge must be white.[2] Some people believe the lozenges to be representative of the lakes and rivers of Bavaria; or their colour to be that of the lakes or the sky or both (as in the Bavarian anthem, which says 'die Farben seines [or "deines" [3]] Himmels, Weiß und Blau' - 'the colours of His sky/heaven, white and blue'); but this has never been proven. The other argument is that they are historical.
The clubhouse and scorebox at Rothley Park Cricket Club. Captured during an important second-versus-first showdown with title rivals Kibworth in the Premier Division of the Leicestershire & Rutland Premier Cricket League.
Kibworth won easily, by six wickets, to move 30 points clear of Rothley Park, with six rounds of the league season left. All over in three hours, 35 minutes. They didn't bother with a tea interval!
