Friday Flags: Big and Beautiful in Watertown CT

I was heading into Watertown, CT on Wednesday morning. On a main road is a plant with a very large flag out front. It very seldom is fully furled, however this week, there was enough wind that I just had to stop.

Most flag sizes are sized for the height of the pole. The pole that was supporting this banner had to be at last 40 ft tall, which would be appropriate for a flag,  8' x 12'

It didn't matter as it ws just a beautiful sight to see.

Wayne Martin   I don't think I'm improving so much as taking advantage  of the spring winds

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 oh for sure, Ed! South Boulevard has some big flags blowing in the wind!

Nina Hollander, Broker  in your area they are far more common as I always see the largest flags blowing in front of auto dealerships down south

Ed you know every time I see a flag now I think about your Friday post!   There is a car museum  flag that we saw yesterday and it was HUGE.....and the wind was strong so it looked even bigger.  Beautiful!

Anna "Banana" Kruchten   That's funny  thinking if I have as good a shot to post

Thanks for sharing such a vivid image, Ed Silva, 203-206-0754. Nothing beats a big, bold American flag waving in the wind to catch your eye. I appreciate you stopping to enjoy the moment and sharing it with us; sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest impression. 🇺🇸😊

What a gorgeous sight, Ed! And, the wind seemed to know that our beautiful flag was posing for you!! Love the blooming tree too - I wonder if it was a dogwood or a pear? 

May 03, 2025 07:24 PM
Ed Silva, 203-206-0754

Debe Maxwell, CRS   That is most likely a dogwood 

the flag teased me the first time I went past but really let it fly when I came back
