Subject: [Leica] The largest American flag I have ever seen on a house!

An American flag as a key element in a photograph of the American landscape
certainly partly comes from THE AMERICANS. (1958) The iconic book by Swiss
Photographer Robert Frank. But I'm sure his was not the first. Nor last.

When I drove out here to move here to NY it was during late June early July
and small town America was adorned in RW&B. It was really excellent. A great
time to be discovering small town America.
