Anyone know the story behind the skull & crossbones flag?
Is it a sign or a flag of pirate in the open sea?

Normally yes... but I think that submariners also fly it on their return home as well... After they surface obviously

Or it means they were successfully a "pirate operation" as the Viking

"In World War II it became common practice for the submarines of the Royal Navy and Royal Australian Navy to fly the Jolly Roger on completion of a successful mission where some action had taken place, but as an indicator of bravado and stealth rather than of lawlessness."

Leek,
I like the first one - the way the faces are mixed into the sea of flags.

I like the first shot....repeating themes...and the last shot best. The last shot has a timeless quality about it.

The first one is a great shot. I saw a shot on the news just like this one tonight and thought what a great photo it would make.

All of these shots were with the 80-400VR except the side portrait which was done with the 105mm. Most of the portraits in my gallery were done with the 105mm...
Again... thanks for the comments guys!!!

Excellent shots John and so sharp. The last one of the car in B&W is a brilliant touch considering the age of the car.
