Flag Findings in Postcards 4

I love flags. They are gay, colorful, move in the wind, have a historical context, and are all over the city. This one is a garrison flag on the old NTC – Liberty Station. Here’s a history of the flag.

Every picture has a story. This flag is flying on the side of the dry dock on the Sub Base, Point Loma. That’s a good sized dry dock. We were there for our neighbor’s retirement party.

Somehow, somewhere here in town, a first flag caught my attention. I photographed it. Now I’m always shooting flags where ever I see them.

On 9-12-01, this garrison flag began flying off the stern of the Star of India.

The day after Memorial Day at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. The boy scouts have taken down the flags and bundled them ready for storage. I had a much older camera that year, and its few pixels give the shot an out of focus appearance. I’ve gone back up several times, but I have never been able to duplicate this shot.

I hope you all have a great day with some sunshine and few storms coming your way.
