Photo Flag Day Sunday
- This week we celebrated July 4th, and naturally displayed our patriotic fervor by displaying our flags. Well, I’ve noticed that New York (a Blue state if ever there was a Blue state) has many American Flags on display all of the time.
As a matter of fact, all of the flag photos posted here were taken over a month ago with no holidays in sight. These flags are just always there and don’t try to call attention to themselves, but they certainly decorate the landscape.
(Click any image you’d like to enlarge.)
One walks down the street completely oblivious to the large number of flags all around us. In the recent past, bronze plaques outside of stores have been replaced by draped signs everywhere announcing the names of stores. Mixed in with these fabric signs are many American flags announcing some bit of patriotism.
Here are some of those I’ve noticed:

2. and there are those outside office buildings.
3. Hotels display many flags of many nations trying to induce everyone to check in.

Even our public transportation displays decals on buses and in subways.

Hey Mike, this is unrelated to flags, but I wanted to let you know I posted an entire old ‘Sword in the Stone’ kids book on my blog today. It’s got some great art in it, thought you might want to take a look:
