I took this back in 2006 on a visit to San Francisco. I stood on the tour boat and waited for the wind to flap the flag into the frame before pushing the shutter. The building in the back is....anyone want to guess? That's right, Alcatraz. Happy 4th of July everyone!

Your timing was perfect! Your imagery depicts two kinds of freedom! Great contrast!

A twisted fun shot! Here's another: one of our TV stations added another stripe to your flag (the 2nd 'flag accident' in 2 weeks!) Have a great holiday!
