It's not flying upside down fwiw. It's flying parallel to the ground aloft on a wire between two cranes.

That's obvious and was not claiming it was actually upside down, I just found that detail uncanny seen from that angle

It wasn't clear from your wording, but here we are. 😚

The "here we are" was for the accidental renaissance part

Even when hanging the flag vertically, this is the correct orientation, with the stars in the upper left.

Really?

I’d have thought the stars should be on the right side when hanging vertically, since it would be rotated 90 degrees clockwise from the standard position.

I have no idea which way is correct, this is just my intuitive reasoning.

Yep, according to the US Flag Code:

When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right, that is, to the observer’s left.

TBF, it does have different instructions about how to display the flag outdoors, hard to tell from this perspective if it was actually hung properly.

Accidental Renaissance

AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.

This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.

πŸ‘‰ Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.

πŸ‘‰ Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".

πŸ‘‰ Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.

πŸ‘‰ The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.

πŸ‘‰ NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.

πŸ“Έ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ¦― Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.
