PMAE No. 240

A torn flag in Flag. (couldn't resist). In my ever constant search to outwit the new pay for parking system in Flag, I found a new spot where I could park for free and then do a walk about in town. On the way back to the car after having taken several shots using my motion app on my Sony A6000 I spotted this small forlorn flag stuck in a small dead bush. The flag looks to have been in this bush for some time. I tried going completely monotone but felt that a splash of the flags colors make it have more of a voice. I sorta feel as though this reflects how our country is these days, stuck, tattered but still with some color of hope.
Love this. The contrast works really well.

Cool staff (couldn't resist either... 🙃)

Powerful symbolism and too true to be funny.

@lilpam Thank you so much. Some of the best things are not on the 'normal' path.

@domenicododaro Excellent comment! Flag is as Flag does.

@golftragic Thank you a great deal and it is a true shame about the reality aspect.

Love your commentary and you have definitely given the flag a voice.

Nicely done!

@thistle I hadn't thought of it that way but thank you very much.

@quietpurplehaze Thank you. While I was downtown, I made some in-roads to talking with strangers. I offered to take pictures of tourists with their cameras. This is a big step for me. I so admire your 'strangers project'.

@joysabin We get a lot of American news here, far too much about the Pres IMHO.

@golftragic Us too and agree :):) We need more stories about puppies and kittens :):):):):)

@joysabin And similar important things! And much less of empty vessels making too much noise.

@golftragic Got any extra corks? We could use a few on this side of the pond.

@joysabin

Thank you and well done! I hope to see some portraits before too long.

@joysabin I'll see what I can find! If we put our heads together I'm sure we can come up with something.

Excellent representation of the state of things, not only in your country. Hope you are right about the hope... but I don't hold out much of it!
