Yes. It is an ethnocentric photo. But the U.S. flag stands for - and hopefully always will stand for - the universal dream of freedom and justice. The longing of everyone to control (to the best of their ability) their destiny, and to have equal access to justice. Whatever their culture or nation.

This is a huge flag, erected shortly after Sept. 11, 2001.

The other flag photo in this contest is better. The lighting is a little dark in this one.

Nice capture of our flag. The sky looks a little washed out, other than that it's very nice.

I think the light is just a bit harsh coming through the flag. I like the shot, with the cloud in the back, but the light is off a bit. The flag pole needs to be straightened just a tad as well.

I'm sure you will get nailed by others for being so "American" on a national forum. I hope not. Thanks for posting.
