#59 FOTW - Cardiff, Wales

The flag of Wales consists of a red dragon passant on a green and white field. As with many heraldic charges, the exact representation of the dragon is not standardised in law. The colours of green and white are the colours of the Tudor family; a standard featuring the red dragon was used by Henry VII at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, after which it was carried in state to St Paul's Cathedral, and a dragon added as a supporter of the Tudor royal arms.

It was officially recognised as the Welsh national flag in 1959. Several cities include a dragon in their flag design, including Cardiff, the Welsh capital.

Balloon pilot with danish flags by Ib Antoni - Copenhagen, Denmark

Ib Antoni lived a short and intense life. In the late 1950s, only 27 years of age, he sat behind the desk in one of the greatest advertising agencies on Madison Avenue in New York, and just a few years later he became one of the world's most coveted advertising designers in the crowd today known as the "Mad Men" of the advertising industry.
In Denmark Ib Antoni was called the ”national illustrator of Denmark”, because his posters with The Little Mermaid, Tivoli, and Copenhagen were - and still are - a part of creating the narrative of the native country and the national brand, that attracts visitors from all over the world. A narrative of great and clean-cut designs and the love of fairytales taken straight out of H. C. Andersen's adventure.
