The Delaware and Kentucky State Flag get Northpolarized!

This year the flag twins of Delaware and Kentucky were decked out with a Christmas Spirit.

Delaware was 'Northpolarized' with a Nutcracker Theme, while the two men embracing on Kentucky play the part of Father Time and Ebenezer Scrooge.  Scrooge is wearing pajamas and throwing money with an enthusiastic Christmas Cheer, while Father Time is watching the last of 2013 dwindle in his hour glass down for the next coming year.  Instead of the grim and dreadful scythe, a wand with an hour glass is used to denote the passing of time.  On its tippy top is crescent moon which is a natural timepiece in the heavens. 


Other changes include a lighted shiny red nose on the cow of Delaware who is also wearing fake antlers.  The heraldic wreath-head band is now green and red.  The ship of commerce is replaced with Santa's Sleigh.  The gun of the country rifleman is now a long sword and the hoe of the farmer transmuted into an axe.  The motto of 'Liberty and Independence' is replaced with 'Joy to the World.'  Also note the feather of the country gentleman in green is preserved on his nutcracker helmet.  Finally in Kentucky some red berries were added to the goldenrod cross wreath to give it some holiday charm.


So a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!   And an especially joyful holiday greeting to yous living in Delaware and Kentucky!  Ho Ho Ho!

 

The Delmarva Flag - for the peninsula of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia

A flag for the small peninsula where Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia are one.  In the canton is a modified Maryland-Delaware fusion flag.  The field based upon the flag of Virginia. Finally the colours of Delaware are preserved with blue hen stripe and buff circle.

The seal on buff in 'Universal Substitutitve.'  Which means you can put anything in it, like the state seal, county seal, corporate seal, school mascot, whatever!  The kids can have a field day with this flag.

The Four Provices/Territories Flag of Canada

Just like the United States, since 1999 Canada has joined the club of nations with a four corners area.  In this case it unites two provinces and two territories.  The four provinces/territory section of Canada includes: Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nunavut, and the North West Territories. The latitude is at 60 degrees north.

The Four Corners Flag of The United States of America

Once you have sat, stood, or had each limb in the Four Corner's spot of the United States of America, you can fly this flag.  This is the one place in the United States where four states meet as one - through Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona.

The Four Corner's Flag takes four important symbols found on each state flag, uniting them in one grand flag  An interesting note is that this area is inbetween the continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe - where they are all at the same latitude of 37 degrees north.

The Four Corners Flag geographically illustrates how the states meet on a typical map.  It is at the south-eastern corner of Utah, the north-western corner of New Mexico, the south-western corner of Colorado, and north-eastern corner of Arizona where America meets as a 'quadrinity.'

Only one symbol is taken from each flag.  In Utah's case only the beehive with circle are used with a variance in the color of the circle from yellow to red.  In New Mexico's case the Zia Pueblo Cross is saved.  From Colorado's flag the red letter 'C' is saved.  And finally for Arizona the bronze star is used in this special geographic flag that one can earn by traveling to this most unique and quite bizarre spot in America.


Although an enchanting spot of America it totally resides under the care of Native Americans on a reservation - the Navaho Nation.

Heavy Air Pollution Flag

The Heavy Air Pollution flag uses the colours red, black, and yellow.  Black and yellow are natural intuitive signs for caution and danger as they can be found on bees and snakes in this manner. Red conveys a sense of urgency and danger as well.

The Southern Hemisphere Flag

The flag of the Southern Hemisphere is based upon Eastern Cosmology whereby South is associated with the colour red with the red phoenix.  A yellow star points downwards as well. The yellow star reflects the center point of the central yellow dragon, which points down or southwards - by modern convention.

The flag for the Northern Hemisphere is based upon Eastern Cosmology whereby the North is associated with the Black Turtle.  Here a black triangle points in the modern and traditional direction of north along with the yellow star.
