About this photograph.

My best friend and I stayed at the Celtic Manor Resort for a couple of nights, we had a room on the south-east side of the building, where we can see the M4 motorway, and also from our room, we could see the flag pole in the grounds of the resort.

On that day, there was a breeze, or just more than a breeze, enough to get this flag waving, and I decided to take as many shots of it as I can.

This is the national flag of Wales, or in their Welsh language: Baner Cymru. it is often called Y Ddraig Goch, meaning the red dragon.

It is described as a red dragon passant on a white and green field.

About the flag.

Baner Cymru or Y Ddraig Goch is the national flag for Wales.

To be clear, Baner Cymru is the national flag for Wales, just like the St George’s Cross is the national flag for England, and the St Andrew’s Cross is the national flag for Scotland. Somewhat akin to each American states having their own flags.

The Union Flag (also known as The Union Jack) is the national flag for the United Kingdom of Great Britain as whole, in a similar way as the Stars and Strips is for the whole of America.

The red dragon is said to imply the fearlessness of the Welsh nation, and dates back to as far as around 600 CE to 800 CE.

The modern flag design was adopted in 1953.
  
 About Celtic Manor Resort.

The Celtic Manor Resort is a leisure hotel and resort, with spa and golf range, just outside of Newport (Casnewydd), in South Wales.

A manor house was built nearby in around 1860s, and was used as a hospital between 1930s to 1975.

The Manor House was bought in 1980s and went through redevelopment. A hotel was built, and later in the 1990s, a 400-room resort hotel was completed.
