Union Jack

by jeg1961

This flag was just being caught in the breeze, against the blue sky and hanging from the white Flagpost, I thought it made a nice shot.

Yes nice shot but the title is wrong. It is the Union FLAG not the Union Jack. The Union Jack has no diagonal red cross in it. Just thought you'd like to know.
CHEERS Vic.

Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.

Nice colour... Could open a big debate with the title.
Union Jack was the name for the flag when flown from a ships bowsprit.

Hot topic this one! Have to concur with Philip though. Without the diagonal red cross it was the Union Flag of 1606.
