Description
- 50 Miles of farmland powered the 20 mph wind gust - Suddenly this 10 by 20 foot monster came to life - The event of this act could almost be defined as violent because of the power required to raise such a large flag - This obvieously was not forgien to this wind woren veteren of American Symbolism - It seemed ironic to me that this particular flag stood at the enterence of a giant stone factory - Yes Stone ! - Granite to be more percise - The end product called by some a Head Stone to be placed polished and engraved at a final resting place -
- This is probably the most recignizable love and hate symbol on the planet - Contraversy and emotion surround it's very presence but for one moment I wanted to capture something else -
- Thank you for your interest and indulgence & please take care -

Yep...Loved and Despised.
Definitely loaded with symbolism the old stars and stripes. I notice yours is blowing to the left. I did that in a painting once and my father commented that it usually blows the other way. What a prophet!
It just may blow period :) - and so the story goes - LOL
Brilliant concept!!!
Sorry, I can't agree about the "symbolism" - I, for one, am totally indifferent. Good photie though.
very impressive performance of interesting thoughts! I also think it's very ironic! ;o)))
Excellent photo and very beautiful postwork!!!
Well isn't it ironic? Nice foto, nice postwork, as for symbolism, well! Lina
Very Bueatiful my friend, and the words are so true. this is a very powerful Image, outstanding work..................V....John
I like your POV.Excellent work!!!!!
Strange thought came to mind. some Americans can't seem to understand when others get patriotic about their own countries. they lash out, defile their beliefs and histories, revile them for not being American, when all along, all you have is your home and native land, where ever it is.
super to me
The lighting is perfect! It is excellent!
Death is the starving parasite. He feasted on the very body of the son of God and then spat him out. I never flew my flag in 1976 because I was forbidden to buy a 50 star flag and putting up my 48 star one was illegal. Compromising and buying a 49 star one at a swap meet was just to clandestine. I finally located a yellow "Don't Tread on Me" on July 4th, 1981 and fired the "shot heard around the world." Do you know the Congress tried to outlaw the flying of those large garrison flags as "ostentatious" and out of "the american characteer" after the bi-centennial. Night flying which was always illegal became a new symbol.
Excellent photo, but I tend to disagree...the most recognizable love and hate symbol on the planet is probably the cross of Jesus Christ.
you show it off proudly... still stands for freedom & a history we shouldn't forget :]
oh...it is excellent!
In spite of all our failings and flaws; America is still a great country with a big heart and a wonderful place to live. Tho we still have a long way to grow... good work a beautifull image
