A tall wrapped wooden flagstaff rises against a clear blue sky, topped with a carved gilded finial and a small fringed ornament. A saffron-orange flag with a white band hangs from a cross-pole near the top, and two guy ropes stretch upward from the staff. Palm fronds in the lower foreground frame the scene, and a small logo sits in the upper right corner. This photograph shows a flag-hoisting pole, with no people visible.

A tall, slender ceremonial flagstaff rises against a clear blue sky above palm fronds. Near its top is an ornate orange-gold finial with a tuft of fibre, atop a square metal bracket and a bulbous copper-toned base. The pole is banded with bright red-brown rings and wrapped with strips, and a saffron-orange pennant with a white emblem hangs from a rope beside it. Thin guy wires run toward the top.
