If you have a thing with flags and come to the Photokina gathering I might organize a factory tour here: http://www.bofa.de/en/UK/

They are just round the corner "Bonner Fahnenfabrik" abbrrv ... BOFA
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Love the soft color rendition which is very fitting for the subjects.

Thank you Akira!

Today: same gear, same tulip, but another flag.
To my surprise nobody could guess the previous two flags.
This time I made it easier, so please, give it a go :)

John, congratulations!
You did guess the first two, but you missed the third.
Thanks!

Looks like the previous question was too difficult.
No matter.
This one should be easy :)
The same gear, but different tulip and flag.
