Flags and Bunting

I wanted to avoid the Jubilee theme, saving that for next week, so here's my take on flags. I absolutely love all things 'Apollo', so I decided to use this picture of Buzz Aldrin with the American flag on the moon. I kept it really simple, cutting the picture in a circle shape and adding a quote that I found on the internet. It's from a scientist called Mark Robinson who was asked if the flags would last forever. "In human terms, it may seem like forever, but in geologic terms, probably there will be no traces of the Apollo exploration in, let's say, 10 to 100 million years." That's what I love of space - the size and time scales are almost beyond comprehension!
