USA Flag 7-4-2017

Out celebrating the Fourth of July holiday, a steady summer breeze kept the stars and stripes rippling proudly on the flagpole. Catching an American flag fully unfurled without tangles takes patience, so I waited for a firm gust of wind to lift the fabric and snap the shot before it folded back down.

The photo captures the American flag waving smoothly from its weathered metal pole against a clean, neutral overcast sky. Rich red and white stripes flow in sweeping waves across the frame, highlighting the embroidered white stars on the deep navy field and the natural woven texture of the outdoor banner.
