The American Flag Part 2

Going back to my last week's post and this week's task of taking an original photograph of an American flag, I went around taking pictures of flags. First, I asked my dad where we keep our flag when it's not up on our house on the 4th of July. The result is the picture below: we keep it rolled up and dusty in our basement.

As I wrote in my last blog post, my family is not big with the American flag. After finding the flag in my house, I drove around nearby neighborhoods, searching for flags on houses. When I came to the house below, I was shocked when I saw a tall flag pole with the American flag in the front yard.

I have seen flag poles before, but in places like fire departments, police stations, schools...etc. Never in a front yard of a small house. It made me realize what a contrast stood between my family's "flag" and their flag. We never take ours out, and this house probably has it out 24-7, 365 days a year. It's really interesting to see which houses/families have their flags up. I think the main question is why certain houses have flags up and why others don't.

What do you think? Does it matter if the house is big or small?
