Capturing the Flag

A raised flag isn’t just a thing you see. It’s also a thing you hear, at least when there’s a good breeze.

The superior courthouse’s stars and stripes caught yesterday’s breeze again and again. Bathed in sun and sky, they would ripple out with a light whoosh, then finish with a low crack.

Think of it like a Fourth of July-themed fireworks show you can see and hear all year.
