Flag of Finland
Aug 26th, 2008 by Juha Ylitalo
This week’s letter in Mrs. Nesbitt’s ABC Wednesday is F. Since this blog is all about Finland, I felt that flag of Finland, would be good choice for this week. All these flags in photograph are the state flags of Finland (used by goverment offices and such). Normal flag of Finland is plain blue cross on white background (without coat of arms).
In case your wondering about number of flags in photograph, this photograph was taken on December 6, which happens to be independence day of Finland and on that day everyone, who has a flagpole, want to put flag of Finland up into air.

I love to see groups of flags fluttering in the wind, making that snapping sound. Great photo. I could ‘hear’ it.

Great capture of the flags
I didn’t realize there are two different style flags for Finland. I wonder if one will be penalized for flying the wrong flag.
Thanks for your comment on my First & Last Chance Saloon post. It’s still an operating old-fashion saloon in the middle of a modern town.
Actually there are four:
- Flag of the Republic of Finland
- State flag of the Republic of Finland
- Flag of the Defence Forces of the Republic of Finland
- Flag of the President of the Republic of Finland
First two are most common.
Third can be seen in various military bases (including Suomenlinna)
Fourth is one that you have to search for.
Very interesting post about your country and the flag.
