This is just amazing. Not only is it huge, the proportions are correct. It took someone a lot of time to map it out and even more to plant it. I don’t know who they are, but thank you for what you have done. With things which are currently going on in our country, it is great to see the American Spirit is still alive.

THE ONLY FLAG THAT DOESN’T FLY

Between the fields where the flag is planted, there are nine-plus miles of flower fields that go all the way to the ocean. The flowers are grown by seed companies. It’s a beautiful place, close to Vandenberg AFB. 

.

Check out the dimensions of the flag. The floral flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet wide and maintains the proper flag dimensions, as described in executive order #10834. 

.

This flag is 6.65 acres and is the first floral flag to be planted with five pointed stars, comprised of white larkspur. Each star is 24 feet in diameter, each stripe is 30 feet wide. 

.

This flag is estimated to contain more than 400,000 larkspur plants with four-to-five flower stems each, for a total of more than two million flowers. 

It’s for our soldiers.

When you receive this, please stop and say a prayer for our servicemen and women.

.

Please keep the men and women of our ARMED FORCES in your daily thoughts and prayers.

.

Also keep the men and women of LAW ENFORCEMENT in your daily thoughts and prayers.

A group of vigilantes has stepped in to restore forgotten historical sites in Naples’ Vergini neighbourhood.

Naples has a history problem: there’s just too much of it.

Greek cemeteries, Roman ruins, medieval castles, Renaissance churches… it’s more than one city can maintain, and some sites will inevitably crumble – unless passionate locals take matters into their own hands.

I met one of these restoration vigilantes on the metro. By day, Maria Corbi, an expert in art history, manages the art installations found in 11 subway stations that double as public galleries. But by night (and evenings and weekends) she’s a founding member of the SMMAVE Association, which is currently restoring an abandoned church in the neglected district of Vergini Sanità.
