Here's our flag waving next to an historic Limestone church in Lemont, Illinois.

Lapstrake,
The lighthouse shot (2nd) is a classic worthy of framing. Looks like the lighthouse was moved to its current location, there's no sea/ocean nearby. Aloha |

Thanks.
Selvin, The lighthouse sits on a hill a few hundred yards from the shore of Lake Michigan. A newer lighthouse sits on a pier that reaches into the lake. It was impossible to photograph this lighthouse with the lake behind since there are now buildings between the shore and the lighthouse. |

Great shot!
....why do I wish the flag was blowing the opposite way though?.... |

I think most Americans visualize the flag with the star field in the upper left corner. When the flag is displayed indoors on a wall, it is proper for the field to be upper left. However, when hung from a pole outside, obviously there is no control over the orientation.
I like both of these shots. In the first shot, the building tends to give scale to the flag. As Selvin said, the second is a classic. Well done on both. Cal |

Excellent pic#2. It could make a great Christmas or postcard.
I suppose the flag could be "photoshop" the other way around for those who aren't used to seeing it point the other way. ![]() |
