‘O Canada’
Canada celebrates Flag Day on February 15th; on that date in 1965 the maple leaf flag was inaugurated at the official ceremony held in Ottawa at Parliament Hill. There are six points on the leaf but unlike the stars on the U.S. flag they do not represent the territories or provinces of Canada. The maple leaf flag was designed by George F. G. Stanley.
The leaf on the flag was used as the subject for this water drop photograph in which only the leaf and the center white area are shown. The drop or stream of suspended water has an interesting effect of multiple maple leaf images down its lower length transitioning from a red blob to the complete leaf in five stages.
The water has been stopped in midair giving it the appearance of a misshapen icicle. The leaf in the background is cutoff at three edges so that the only complete view we have of the national symbol is in the bottom of the water bead. Perhaps a little could be cropped off the bottom of the composition.
