A church in Arbon, Switzerland. Arbon is a beautiful small city at the Lake of Constance. Population: 13'000 but but with long history behing. The Latin name of Arbon first appears in year 300. This name is "Arbor Felix" meaning happy tree.
So you can see the three flags. That in the middle has a tree inside and is of course the flag of Arbon. At the right side there is the flag of the canton where Arbon lies: Thurgau. It is white and green with two yellow lions inside. The third one is the flag of Switzerland.
The whole year but especially when springtime begins you can see thousands of flags like these in Swiss cities.
I like the flags of Switzerland and aparently so do Swiss people. But in oposition to other countries in the World they use this identity mark to join rather than to divide. At least, among them. |

Clemente,
Nice composition and POV. You picked a nice angle to photograph this church from showing us nice depth and detail. The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness and DOF. The flags add a nice touch of color and interest. The photo is nicely balanced with the church and tree.
TFS,
Asa
