Thursday Arch Series

.
Well, I did find one in the nether archives, just a simple one. The flag reminds me of two quotes. Sir Walter Scott wrote: Breathes there the man with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said, ‘This is my own, my native land!’ On the other hand, Samuel Johnson observed that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. (Sarah Palin, take note.) U Pick, as the signs say in the fruit orchards around Seattle.

Nice juxtaposition of the flag and the arch.

«Louis» looks forward to Thursdays - he enjoys your Arch series.

Olivier is right, belle perspective. I knew you would find one for us!

Did you have to mention Palin? I've not had my coffee yet and I can't handle it.
