Robert Carley, in front of the flag-themed tire "assemblage" he put together in his own back yard.
Robert Carley is a Connecticut artist who, after 9/11, wanted to record in photos the patriotic spirit of Americans affected by that day.
In the last 20 years, he's journeyed around the country capturing these clever, heart-felt flag-inspired tributes by regular Americans, and his work has been collected and shown in various exhibits.
A small sampling of his inspiring finds:
Gravel tribute, beside a highway--
Mural in New York City--
Patriotic young man--
Maryland house--
American flag balloon at a balloon fest. Wonder if that's at your fabled Albuquerque hot air to-do, @just bee?
Texas house--
Another NYC mural--
Metal roof--
Sweet horse, peeking out from a Pennsylvania barn--
VW, dedicated to the passengers of Flight 93, and to firefighter first responders--
Connecticut house--
Locally, in our area we had a farmer, I believe, paint a very meticulous American flag covering the entire roof of one of his farm outbuildings. We could see it every time we drove out in the country between towns, and loved it!
What a great archival project Robert Carley undertook. There's something about seeing his various photographs, all together in the aggregate, sympolizing the indomitable spirit of the American people. To me, inspiring and comforting.

I love to see Americans so patriotic.
Look at this beauty. A Carley, too.

That little Maryland house is so cute!!
Fun stuff. Being non-creative myself, I always appreciate creative talent.

I am at a loss for words. Some people sure think outside the box.

Sorry, I'm not a fan of such "art."
