Description
This unique abstract photo of the official Mardi Gras Rex flag was taken on St. Charles outside my favorite coffeeshop The photo was taken looking straight up into the official mardi gras flag which was suspended from a flag pole the wind had died down and the material curled and created this striking photo.
Rex selected the official Mardi Gras colors in 1872 to honor the visiting Russian Grand Duke Alexis Alexis Alexandrovich Romanoff, whose house colors were purple, green and gold. The 1892 Rex Parade theme "Symbolism of Colors" affirmed the colors' The Meaning and Origin of Purple, Green, and Gold in Mardi Gras
Purple Represents Justice. Green Represents Faith. Gold Represents Power.
This is the traditional flag which is hung from places of business, private home and from the homes of previous Mardi Gras Kings. This photo was taken with a Nikon 820 auto settings. telephoto zoom.
