Scotland: Omens in the sky?

 Looking skyward, the skies seem to point toward Scottish Independence,

but Scotland is part of what makes Great Britain great.

The vote was on today, but the polls are now closed,

 so we'll just  have to wait and see what it all means.

Will my recently purchased Union Jack becomes a souvenir of another time, 

or still fly proudly in the United Kingdom?

It's hard to imagine this flag without the blue background and white cross.

UPDATE: Voters (this time) said NO to independence from the U.K. (this time).

Photo of the Day: Flag is Still There

Somewhere in Utah, Idaho, or Nevada, River Trip 2010

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

The Star Spangled Banner
Lyrics by Francis Scott Key 1814
