Largest US flag waving

[2005GLI]

Took this on September 11th from a lookout above the George Washington Bridge. Supposed to be the Worlds largest US flag to be flown. Pic doesn't do it justice, it was a huge flag.

no kidding, it looks like the same size as those trailers on the road (40ft or so?)

love the sky in this shot, beautiful! Thought the bridge looks a tad hot.

thats the actual color of the bridge. A very flat grey that they use to prevent rust from forming but if you look you'll see some.

At night they light up the towers and give a spectacular sight. I just hope i can get up there to get a shot.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Frame it.

Yeah the bridge does dwarf the flag a bit. As Andy said though, if you compare it to the trucks you get a good idea of the size.

Wonderful shot!!

I prefer the second one - nice pic (even thought it is larger than the recommended 800max for the forum)

sorry for the size, but i wanted it larger when i saved it. Totally forgot about the sizing for the site's i posted it on.

As for the park, the lookout on the palisades park in fortlee.

Great Shots!!

haha yea i used to work at the park down there right under the bridge i used to drive under it every weekend, they have a couple army troops stationed under the bridge actually.

[2005GLI]

bluej511, there's no more army guys now, maybe on the NY side. They have or had this rent-a-cop who thinks he knows every law known to man. Im going to test the whole "can't take pics here" thing next weekend. Going to try and get some shots of the bridge from underneath. All will be taken from a public boat launch. No tresspassing whatsoever.

[bluej511]

haha yea i used to work at that boat launch down there lol good luck.Hope no one calls the cops for suspicious activity lol IDIOTS

Super shots. I've driven under that many times, it is HUGE.

i like hte first one.

i like better b/c the diagnol line of the bridge and the diagnol formation of the clouds go opposite ways.

[Boxer_kidd]

Nice shots guys.

[SuzyView]

I have gotten lost going off and on that bridge for years! Love the shots. I think the second one is crystal clear. Thanks for posting. That flag does look huge. I wonder how they hung it up?
