The American flag was changed to 50 stars in 1950 when Alaska and Hawaii both became states. The flag on the house was not old, it looked new. Wonder why they are using a version of the flag that ceased to be the official American flag 70 years ago?? -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Like My Work on Facebook ?On 10/14/20, 12:04 AM, "LUG on behalf of John Lee via LUG" <lug-bounces+chris=chriscrawfordphoto.com at leica-users.org on behalf of lug at leica-users.org> wrote: Very unusual to see an American flag with 48 stars nowadays.
