Libya flag (Qaddafi flag )


Flags and banners, including school banners, have been used for all kinds of different purposes, the main ones being identification and signaling. Flags of all sizes are flown from residential flagpoles of all kinds, including tall steel flag poles. Of all the different country flags in existence, the Libyan flag sure is considered one of the "special ones."

The Libyan flag is the only national flag in the world that displays a color only. The flag displays the green color and is manufactured in a proportion of 1:2. No other detail is displayed on this very unique and fascinating "historical" flag.

Some years, or even decades ago, Egypt, Libya and Syria were part of the so called Federation of Arab Republics. At the time, these three countries each flew the flag from steel and aluminum flagpoles, and other such objects. Their intention or ambition was that all three countries would become a unified Arab type country. This never happened however, following acts of treason by the then ruling President of Egypt, according to Gaddafi. Qaddafi interpreted the traveling of the Egyptian President to Israel offensive and hence rejected the then adopted flag that was flown by the three respective states.

The Sahara desert covers the major part of Libya in modern times. Some thousands of years ago, this used to be different however. The area used to be green and covered with all kinds of vegetation. It was home to various lakes, areas of countless trees and a very mild climate. Original inhabitants are said to be very skilled in the domestication of all kinds of cattle as well as the cultivation of crops. Like many other African countries, Libya is struggling to produce enough food for its growing population.

The green flag was hoisted as the country's national banner as a symbol of the so called "Green Revolution" which Qaddafi proclaimed at the time. Also referred to as Colonel Gadaffi, he has been considered the leader of the country since '69. Today, he is considered the longest serving non-royal type national leader or rulers in history. Gadaffi began his first plan to overthrow the Libyan monarchy whilst being in military college...

Travel To Del Mar - California

Del Mar is a lovely upscale beach town in Southern California just north of San Diego. Del Mar is Spanish for "by the sea." Del Mar is located along the Pacific Ocean and was founded in the nineteenth century as a seaside resort for the rich and famous.

Our "paradise" here in north San Diego consists of several lovely, quaint beach towns: Solana Beach, Carlsbad, Del Mar and Encinitas are each drenched in the cooling breezes of the ocean while being showered with sunshine. Our communities have fascinating hotels, inns and resorts, extraordinary restaurants and dazzling beaches.

Del Mar has a very long record of celebrities living and playing here due to the Del Mar horse racing track built under the guidance and inspiration of Jimmy Durante and Bing Crosby nearly 70 years ago.

Their Hollywood star-power put the Del Mar Horse Race Track on the map as one of the most ritzy and prominent associations in the racing world. The Del Mar horse track brought a steady steam of well-known Los Angeles and New York celebrities to the Del Mar hotels and motels, and dozens of Del Mar inns and resorts prospered as a result.

Del Mar Ca hotels, inns and lodging accommodations are breathtaking, but pricey. One of the most exquisite Del Mar hotels is along the shores of the ocean - it's The Grand Del Mar, an awesome San Diego resort that, as they say, "Celebrates the connection we all have with stillness, comfort and relaxation."

Rated among the best five-star resorts in the U.S., the "Grand Del Mar" offers stunning views, casual sophistication and unmatched service to create a memorable weekend at a Del Mar resort.

The age-old San Diego County Fair has been held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds every summer. Locals refer to it as the Del Mar Fair - no one ever calls it the San Diego County Fair. The fair's location is perfect because it is only several blocks from the refreshingly cooling breezes from the Pacific Ocean on the first hot days of summer. If you decide to visit the fair, make sure you get reservations for accommodation before hand from any of the Del Mar inns or Del Mar hotels.

Del Mar has two seaside parks - Seagrove and Powerhouse - both great for picnicking and stunning ocean views. Often referred to as "Malibu South," Del Mar hotels are second to none, especially the luxury beach hotels. Visitors love the trendy cafes and Italian restaurants located along Old Coast Highway 101.
