Our town hangs banner flags* downtown along our main street. Around the end of June and beginning of July, the banner flags are, appropriately enough, resemble our actual Canadian flag (as previously and fairly recently posted).
Come November, the banner flags will honour veterans of past wars for Remembrance Day. I haven't posted about those for some time, but maybe I will again this November.
Currently, the town exhibit various artists and their works. These four hang just outside of townhall along with two glorious flower baskets, of which there are plenty along the main drag and elsewhere in town too. I made sure to get the flowers in the photo too.
There are many, many more banner flags flowerbeds and baskets, but you'll have to take my word for it after seeing my samples.
Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteBanner flags it is!
ReplyDeleteI love it that they are featuring different artists and do a great job of displaying the art with the flowers, especially the last one!
Our town has the same type hanging baskets with flowers. I think a flower/garden shop donates them each year.
You live in a pretty town!
ReplyDeleteYou probably create these compositions completely without thought by now...but the 4 banners and two baskets of flowers in front of Town Hall are caught with just the right balance of textures, forms and shades...an artist's eye at work! Same goes for the shot of Sue and the dark bench against her white slacks. I'm very thrilled to see these beauties, as well as that you've an environment which offers such opportunities!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteI love those banner flags, especially the one with the flowers. They do seem to blend into the flag. You live in a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteOur town has banner flags too but I can't for the life of me tell you what is on them currently. I can tell you there has never been one that represented our flag. The only ones that have caught my attention are the ones the hang up on Memorial Day which have a picture of someone's loved one who died in service for our country. It is always sobering to see those young faces everywhere.
ReplyDeleteYeah. That is what we do around Remembrance Day.
DeleteThe town looks so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing flower baskets!
ReplyDeleteA snapshot of your arts culture...so many communities in Alberta sacrifice arts & culture for utility. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy these banner flags, they show a lot about a town. You have a lovely series here.
ReplyDeleteI like the banner flags. Your Canadian flag is the best!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way for the town to celebrate both its community and creativity with the colourful banner flags and overflowing flower baskets
ReplyDeleteLove those big, bushy hanging planters. The second last photo in particular, is lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour town has set things up to look very attractive for the summer.
