July 2011 photography assignment - My City OR Country

[Bambi]

Hi members,

hard to believe it's july already - happy canada day ay!

Hey, given that both the USA and Canada celebrate their birthdays in the same week....how about

- Patriotism
or
- My country
or
- My country is awesome

for the regular assignment

and Using my country's flag creatively for the level 2 assignment.

Feel 100% free to reject those ideas and suggest others - and the topic(s) with the most support in the next 24 hours will become this month's regular and level 2 assignments.

Thx!

those ideas work for me

Ok then - let's go with My City OR Country for regular and using my country's flag creatively for level 2

Ok then who will post first?

maybe this thread title is too lofty - I'm making the exec decision to choose Country OR city.
I think that might make it more accessible.

I'll go first. The Bluenose is an iconic symbol of Canada- it is on our dime after all! It is currently being rebuilt in Lunenburg Nova Scotia. This is it under construction. On the day I went I was lucky enough that the artist was there as well. I believe he's capturing it as it's being built.

Lovely shot, Bambi!

Across the tall prairie grasses



This shot of downtown Calgary, taken from just above Samis Road is intended to show the juxtaposition of the Old West days when ranching was the mainstay of the city and the new urban centre it has become.
