    Old Glory

    I just made a post in the "you might be a redneck" thread and said I was going to start a thread of Old Glory shots.

    Here's my first salvo, an oldie but goodie:

    There are some very touching image's in this thread. Nice job everyone.
    Here's my meager submission. I had walked into an Army Surplus store (Hahns) where one of the girls had just made this arrangement of free flags in celebration of the 4th. I figured I had better take the shot before this flag tree got plucked bare.

    Nice! Gotta love a string of firetrucks showing the colors!

    I'll have to show this one to my 3 yr old. He's into fire trucks big time right now. We went to visit the local "fire truck house" to visit the firefighters and he was in heaven! I'll have to post pics soon.

    Thanks for sharing! Makes me wonder who the person was, who placed the flag, and why. Makes me very reflective!

    Re: Old Glory

    Here is the very first image I took with my new Pentax K2OD...
    As I was looking for something to photograph, I saw old Glory and how appropriate...

    τα γαρ αορατα αυτου απο κτισεως κοσμου τοις ποιημασιν νοουμενα καθοραται η τε αιδιος αυτου δυναμις και θειοτης εις το ειναι αυτους αναπολογητους

    Re: Old Glory

    My shame .....
    I just riffled through my files and found that I do not have a decent
    photo of "Old Glory".
    That will be rectified this summer.
    Thanks I_Fly for a great thread.

    Thanks Troy! It's one of my favorites too. It's a bit soft - they were walking quite fast and I was walking backwards trying to keep up and shoot at the same time. However, that Sailor never took her eyes off of me with that beautiful smile the whole time I was clicking!
