Well done.

It certainly looks tattered.

Think someone will replace it soon and it´s not so sad, as long as it isn´t a symbol for the current state of a nation.
Jeff Lobaugh14-Mar-2012 16:22
Hope it's replaced soon.

Time for a ceremony :-(

the torn flag is somehow attractive
Laryl14-Mar-2012 04:09
yes it shouldn't be flown according to flag etiquette.. works for a sad photo though!
Sheila14-Mar-2012 03:05

It really is tattered, and looks sad flying forlornly.

I really wish that we honoured our flag as the peoples of other countries do. Tattered it may be but it's still flying!!

That always makes me feel sad. Old Glory isn't so glorious anymore. Hopefully this will be replaced soon. Flying a tattered flag is disrespectful. Nice one for the challenge!

It is a sad sight to see, but at least it occurred through natural means (and a mean-sprited human didn't intentionally destroy the flag).

Nice shot, the winds are really raising havoc with the flags.
