Friday Flags A Final Half Mast Flag in Prospect CT

Just off the center of the town is a manmade lake, called McGrath Pond. and earlier in the day I went by to see someone fishing well off the bank.  

The flag on the pole adjacent to the pond monument was still at half-mast also and while the wind was blowing it was not that strong and this pond is sheltered, but I still managed to get a decent shot.

It surely looks like winter and not the most hospitable area but the flag still managed to bring a pause for me to stop and a smile on my face.

Half Mast Flag or not, the most beautiful scenery in America are places where there are flags. 

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 - Thanks for allowing me to peak into your winter world.

I wonder if the flag at your home is still at half mast as well?  I am seeing flags around town that are not still at half-mast.

Good morning Ed. After 9 years of downtown hires living with a clear view of a giant flag from my west windows each morning I am noe in exurbia searching for flags. Until I find them, and I will, your posts have to serve my needs to see the flag. Keep them coming along with your explanations. Enjoy your day.

Ed the flag may be kind of isolated, but it still looks beautiful to me.

George Souto  It really isn't that isolated as it is right on one of the main arteries in town.

Hi Ed:

Beautiful capture of the flag at half mast on a wintry day. I'm glad you took the photo before the flag returned to full mast!
