Steve: On 9/11 I would have seen that "our flag was still there" even if
grief blurred our vision. What I saw today was a metaphor for how the
ideals our flag is supposed to stand for sometimes are hard to see through
the thicket of current events.
I also must acknowledge that we all see the U.S. flag though the lens of
our own politics, and any picture containing it is bound to have meanings
that vary according to the beholder, and those meanings will also color our
perception of the tree branches and choice of focus.
