Project 365 // Day 315
Today I visited the the Fresno State campus for the first time (for a photo shoot event). The campus itself was nice, but it was a very hot day, so I didn't really get a chance to explore it too much. While I was walking around on a lunch break, I spotted these two flags, fluttering about in the wind. I was feeling a little patriotic at that point, so I just thought to myself, "this will be my daily shot". It ended shooting a ton of pics, trying to capture as many different shapes and compositions as possible. This shot was one of my favorites.

As a person who was born and grew up in England, it wouldn't have seemed right not to take a picture of my country's flag at this event, so here it is!
From about the 16th century until 1814 Norway used the same flag as Denmark, as it was in union with that country. In 1814 independent Norway adopted the Danish flag with the Norwegian lion in the canton or the upper square at the hoist. This flag was in use until 1821. Later in 1814 Norway was united with Sweden and in 1815 a common flag for both states was introduced, the Swedish flag with a white cross on a red background in the canton. This design was used for government flags and for merchant ships beyond Cape Finisterre. A distinctive Norwegian flag was designed in 1821 by Fredrik Meltzer, a member of the parliament (Storting). It was adopted by both chambers of the Storting on 11 May and 16 May, respectively. However, the king refused to sign the flag law, but approved the design for civilian use by royal order in council on 13 July 1821. The design is the same as in the present flag. But as the constitution of 1814 explicitly stated that the war flag was to be a union flag, the common flag (Swedish with a canton signifying Norway) was used by the armies and navies of both states until 1844.

The flags fly in the brease off of the river, I took 3 shots before I could get them all out like they are.
Benjamin's hockey team was in provincials this year, and they asked Lane and Hazel to be the flag bearers at their home game. This team has been incredibly kind to us, and to Benjamin, who was #23. They hang his jersey above their bench every game, and they ordered stickers with his jersey and name on them for their helmets. They had a tribute to Benjamin, which was announced at the beginning of their provincial game, and they've ordered hoodies which have a salute to Benjamin on the back too. Some days it is easy to think that our family is the only one affected by Benjamin's death, but this is not the case, and this hockey team has demonstrated how much he is remembered, and has done so in such a gracious way. It is very heartening.

Digging through the archives, I recently found this photo from over a decade ago of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. What struck me the most is that a single flag - the Australian flag - flies proudly atop said bridge. To a foreigner, this might seem like an odd thing to point out. The explanation is that now, multiple flags fly. I long for the time when Australia was united under a single flag, and for the time when the quality of one's character meant more than the makeup of one's ethnicity and/or sexuality.
On this day - April 25th - Australia remembers the ANZACs (the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) who bravely fought and risked their own lives - indeed sacrificed their own lives - so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have today. The Australian flag represents every single Australian no matter what their background or identity, and is the flag that Aussie ANZACs courageously fought under. Lest We Forget.
All flags are ready, people not so much - awaiting for priest to start the old tradition - Processione in Ste-Adele.

After putting this 48 star American flag away for safe keeping during my last move 12 years ago, I couldn't find where I put it. I knew I had it stored in a mason jar and I finally found it today. It could use a good washing. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't want the red color to run.
We have our's up.
It's nice to see a bunch of people in our development have flags out for Memorial Day. I would have liked to see a lot more, but...
Everyone should remember what this day means to so many.
Happy Memorial day.
