Daily Featured Flag #13: Argentina

Today's daily featured flag is the flag of the Argentine Republic. I've picked this flag for today for multiple reasons. For one, I'm in a contest in a small community I'm in where if your team wins the World Cup you get a US$10 gift card, and I was randomly assigned Argentina. Secondly, today is Argentina's independence day. Go bother all the Argentinians in your life with this news at 2:30 in the morning as I already have. Not much more to say about my justification other than that this is a really pretty flag- the shade of sky blue used is just light enough to be tender and nice on the eyes, but just dark enough to still leave an impact, and that iconic sun in the center has been staring into my soul since I first saw this flag circa. age three.

If you'd like to see your most beneficent banner bequeathed upon this blog tomorrow, go down to the reblogs and replies and post an image of the flag, a little about it, and a short blurb about why you like it. Also, asks are now open in case you have any questions for the mind behind "Add Butterfinger To Toronto." Happy flagging!

The national status of Argentina is an interesting study, if you’ve never looked into it--for instance, during the confederation era (1831-1853), when the provinces of Argentina were organized as a confederation without a head of state, if you can believe it.  [Rather different from the Perón era.]  Even today, the provincial designations are still important (there are 23 provinces and one autonomous city [Buenos Aires]), and as decreed by the Argentine Constitution, Confederación Argentina is still considered one of the official names of Argentina (as is Nación Argentina, for legal purposes).  [Argentina, it should be noted, is actually the Italian word for “made of silver,” not the Spanish word.]

The Wall of Waterfalls by Baron Reznik Via Flickr: One of the more popular, beautiful, and definitely accessible World Heritage Sites, Iguazu Falls. With up to 275 drops (depending on water flow) spread across 2.7km (1.7mi), this is one of the grandest waterfalls in the world. The falls range from 60-82m (197-269ft) in height.
