a Field of Flags
Posted By: timbo13, 10-16-2008, 11:57 AM

The Unitarian/Universalist church here in Northboro recently set up this
display of flags on their front lawn to honor those Americans who have
lost their lives in Iraq and Afganistan. I couldn't resist trying to capture
it with my camera. I realize that it is election season here in the USA but
this post is not intended as a political statement, just an attempt to
capture a vision of the scene. I have seen other photographers
wandering around the site so I'm not alone!

these signs are about 10 feet from a busy main road:

I really like the one with the church. Nice perspective and the fall colors/cloud add an extra element.
