The Trio

This morning I took our Jeep in for an oil change. While that was being done l decided to go for a walk.
These flags standing in a cemetery caught my eye. On the right is Alberta's provincial flag. In the middle is the Canadian flag. The one on the left l wasn't able to see fully so I am not sure which flag it is
Brave soldiers standing guard for those at rest here !

Are these flags lowered because they are in a cemetery, as a sign of mourning? (I'm sure there is a term, but I don't know it in English - half mast?)

Beautiful image. The flags are very striking on the white snow and cemetery slabs. Are the flags at half mast for November only, the month dedicated to those who went to meet the Almighty.?

A great pov, Brian, to get the three flags in view like this. A lovely image of the flags and tombstones with the white snow and winter-blue sky. But the flags at half-mast add a sad element, too. Well-done! Fav

@bruni Bruni the city of Edmonton has chosen to have flags at half mast for the duration of the year ever since the unmarked Graves were discovered at residential schools

@beryl Beryl l am not sure if you heard of the discovery of unmarked graves at a residential school in British Columbia earlier this year. Since then the City of Edmonton decided to keep flags at half mast in honor of the victims for the duration of this year
November 24th, 2021  
@monikozi Half mast is correct. You can see my response to Beryl for the explanation
