NYSE - a photo on Flickriver

NYSE

The eyes of the world are on the United States of America. When I came to the U.S.A. I thought it would be interesting to experience presidential elections and now I find that for various reasons (including the economic crisis) the worldwide interest in the elections is stronger than ever before.
This is why I pulled this picture to the front. It combines the Star Spangled Banner as one of THE symbols of this great country with the New York Stock Exchange, THE symbol for the economic power of the U.S.A. in the world. I hope all my American friends are using their right to vote and as one of my contacts (Lens Capricious) wrote: "Remember, it's not so much about who's running as it is about showing you care. Democracies don't govern themselves, you know. "

On our first trip to NYC after our move to NJ we passed the New York Stock Exchange and I couldn't resist taking a picture of that giant Star Spangled Banner in front of it.
