Old Uniforms, New Flag

New soldiers in old uniforms raise a new flag on a new pole at the Governor's Mansion. The yucky weather made it difficult to take pictures, but certainly made for a spectacular backdrop for this picture.

I must confess that the photo is a bit enhanced. It started raining while the soldiers were actually raising the flag, so I had to stop taking pictures (I was wearing my good suit, with no raincoat). In order to get this shot, I had to combine the photo I took of the soldiers just before the ceremony started with a photo I took of the flag shortly after they had raised it.
