Independence. I remember watching a documentary that showed colonial American soldiers firing canons from Hoboken’s cliffs into a Hudson River completely filled with British naval warships. That was the scene I thought about as I stood looking down at the river and the city skyline from Elysian Park this morning. The sky was completely overcast blue at sunrise, with a light drizzle. I decided this flag in the park with the spotlight shining on it would make the perfect subject for today’s photo.
