[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
The National Flag of Canada, also known as the Maple Leaf, and l'Unifolié (French for "the one-leafed"), is a red flag with a white square in its centre, featuring a stylized 11-pointed red maple leaf. Its adoption in 1965 marked the first time a national flag had been officially adopted to replace the Union Flag. The Canadian Red Ensign had been unofficially used since the 1890s and was approved by a 1945 Order-in-Council for use "wherever place or occasion may make it desirable to fly a distinctive Canadian flag". In 1964, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson appointed a committee to resolve the issue, sparking a serious debate about a flag change. Out of three choices, the maple leaf design by George F. G. Stanley based on the flag of the Royal Military College of Canada was selected. The flag made its first appearance on February 15, 1965; the date is now celebrated annually as National Flag of Canada Day.Taking this picture I stood on the roof of 16 floor building. In the background skyline of Toronto.

Dumnie tkwi na swym miejscu na tle gro¼nie ciemnego nieba. Daleko na horyzoncie miasto, pod nogami zapewne te¿. Jasne elementy wie¿owca dobrze wkomponowane w kadr. £adna jako¶æ zdjêcia.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,

Hi Ziggy
The flag stands out well against the dark sky.It also looks like a new flag. Perhaps it was first flown on Canada Day this year. Good eye.

Superba ambiance Ziggy,

Un ciel magnifique d'ailleurs.
Amicalement.

Hello Ziigy,

This are our liberators in 1944 together with Polish soldiers.
Every year come different Canadians old veterans toward the commemoration where I making a reporting.
The flag gives a very nice contrast against the imminent sky.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Hello Ziggy! This is always something that hits me first when I come over to North America, these huge huge skies. Ours are taken away by the mountains and never look as impressive. I like that you have a lot of this endless sky with the dark clouds rolling over and that you left some of the building with the little flag going strong in the wind. Different, and good! Barbara.

Witaj Ziggy,
ladnie kontrastuje ta kanadyjska flaga na tle ciemnego nieba,podoba mi sie kadr,pozdrawiam

Bonjours,
belle photo de ce drapeau Canadien qui flotte sur les toits avec comme toile de fond ce ciel superbe et menaçant.
Si j' ai bien compris, ce sont les toits de l' école royale militaire.

Amitiés Thomas
Je reviens
