Minneapolis

we've had enough of flags, haven't we? ;)

good picture if only without the fkag and with a different maybe more dramatic sky.

I do often shoot flags ... not out of any kind of patriotic impulse

but just because (a) they give a sense of place and (b) they often

seem to provide the an interesting detail to put at a rule of thirds

point to provide a point of interest for the eye. Thats what I tried

to do here. I shot this with a really long zoom and loved the

refleection of the clouds and the design of the building but the

flag, for me, provides one more point of interest. It did, however,

require a long wait with my hands freezinf until a breeze came along.
