It's not flying upside down fwiw. It's flying parallel to the ground aloft on a wire between two cranes.
That's obvious and was not claiming it was actually upside down, I just found that detail uncanny seen from that angle
It wasn't clear from your wording, but here we are. 😚
The "here we are" was for the accidental renaissance part
Yes. I know.
Even when hanging the flag vertically, this is the correct orientation, with the stars in the upper left.
Really?
I’d have thought the stars should be on the right side when hanging vertically, since it would be rotated 90 degrees clockwise from the standard position.
I have no idea which way is correct, this is just my intuitive reasoning.
Yep, according to the US Flag Code:
When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right, that is, to the observer’s left.
TBF, it does have different instructions about how to display the flag outdoors, hard to tell from this perspective if it was actually hung properly.
Cool thanks for looking that up, TIL!
