The point of focus in this picture is the American flag. This vertically-oriented picture was taken in the evening (probably around 6:30 pm), and the sun was shining. The clouds in the background flow with the flag and they tie the whole piece together. I'm trying to communicate the importance of our flag to our country, while also showing a sense of pride and admiration.

The Ohio Flag was designed by John Eiseman. It was officially adopted as the Ohio state flag in 1902 and is the only state flag which is not rectangular. It has a swallowtail bevel at its distal end.
It was a beautiful sunny day yesterday 04 Feb 2017 but bitter cold. Still I couldn't resist getting out in the sun for a while.
To the left is the Australian national flag. To the right of centre is the Aboriginal nation flag, but as to whose is the centre one, I don't know. The flagstaffs where near a Buddhist temple so maybe it had some relationship to it. Does anyone know?
Love to see Old Glory flying proudly - guess my mom and dad instilled their strong patriotism in me!

Tonglu (3036 m), a small hamlet inside the Singalila National Park in the Darjeeling district in the state of West Bengal in India near the India - Nepal border. It is a roadside halt along the trekking route from Manebhanjang (11km) to Sandakphu. The other and easier way to reach Tonglu is via Dhotre; a 5km trek route winds through the forest to Tonglu.
A panoramic view of snow-covered peaks including the majestic Kangchenjunga range (8,586 m / 28,169 ft), a picturesque trekkers’ hut and solitude — Tonglu is the perfect retreat to explore few leisurely days in the vast natural canvas. If you can't make Sandakphu for your busy schedule, come to Tonglu, you will not be disappointed. In my opinion, Tonglu is one of the best unknown tourist destinations in West Bengal.
Take a overnight train from Kolkata to Siliguri (other option is to fly to Bagdogra). From there, it is a four-hour drive to Dhotre and a further four-hour trek will take you to Tonglu. The trekkers' huts can be booked from the DGHC counter in Kolkata, New Delhi, Siliguri or Darjeeling. A single bed will cost you INR Rs.100 (USD $2) and a room with four beds for USD $8. Foods are available from the caretaker's kitchen with a nominal price.
West Bengal Govt. can easily upgrade the facilities (mainly western-type toilets and foods) with minimum budget. I feel sad when I see tourists avoiding Tonglu for 'noisy' Tumbling (in Nepal) only for better foods and facilities but with a much higher price.

The flag of Greenland was designed by Greenland native Thue Christiansen. It features two equal horizontal bands of white (top) and red with a large disk slightly to the hoist side of centre. The top half of the disk is red, the bottom half is white. The entire flag measures 18 by 12 parts; each stripe measures 6 parts; the disk is 8 parts in diameter, horizontally offset by 7 parts from the hoist to the centre of the circle, and vertically centered.
Its local name in the Greenlandic language is Erfalasorput, which means 'our flag';. The term Aappalaartoq (meaning 'the red') is also used for both the Greenlandic flag and the flag of Denmark (Dannebrog). Today, Greenlanders display both the Erfalasorput and the Dannebrog[citation needed]—often side-by-side. The flag of Greenland is the only national flag of a Nordic country or territory without a Nordic Cross.
To honour the tenth anniversary of the Erfalasorput, the Greenland Post Office issued commemorative postage stamps and a leaflet by the flag's creator.[citation needed] He described the white stripe as representing the glaciers and ice cap, which cover more than 80% of the island; the red stripe, the ocean; the red semicircle, the sun, with its bottom part sunk in the ocean; and the white semicircle, the icebergs and pack ice.
