This is a photo of one of the ships in New York last weekend for the annual Fleet Week. Fleet Week is a celebration for the Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen who come to the city for some vacation time and for demonstrations and displays of the participating ships. These flags were on the U.S.S. Kearsarge. I'm afraid I don't know much about the boat or its origins. I liked the colorful flags though. A good weekend to all!Friday, May 30, 2008

Cool perspective shot of the flags!
I've too have read that Fleet Week is a big thing in NYC.
I like the contrast between the bright colors and the grays. Also the contrast between the flags in the wind with the heaviness of the ships.
Have a great weekend!
Go Navy!!!. I love it when the ships have their holiday colors on them.
The flags add a colourful splash! Hope you have a good weekend too :)
Lori, that is just the coolest picture. Love the way the flags are flowing and the ship and the buildings....you get an A+!!
You have a great weekend too.
Love and Hugs

Hi Lori! I'm so glad to see you back!
Sorry for the speedy visit! I’ve been busy the whole last week and will be out in the next, so this is far less than your blog deserves… ;(( But I promise I’ll come back with more time after June 10th, at least…
However, to avoid leaving you empty hands, I published a last post on Marrakesh 2006 at Blogtrotter. Enjoy, and don't hesitate to comment... ;))
lovely flags - our latest collaboration is a bid for freedom
I really like this shot. Nice angle and love all the colors.
Hi Lori,
I have been visiting your blog fro sometime and have never left a comment. I was reading throught your post and was very sad to see the rude comment that someone left you regarding your comments on other blogs. Its sad to see that people have nothing better to do then be hurtful. I enjoy your post and love you photographs. I live in DC and love NYC and seeing your photos makes me feel like i can experience a city i am so fond of. Thanks for you post and pictures and dont let miserable people get to you. ;) You can visit me blog as well and comments are always welcome. ;) Have a Great Day!
