Flag of Lancombe Pond

I have designed a flag for Lancombe Pond, the imaginary country in which my new novel The Obscurati Chronicles is partly set. I have had it as a mental image for some time and I describe it in the sample chapter as: "an off-centre green cross on a light blue background.", see: https://hpanwo-bb.blogspot.com/2019/12/the-obscurati-chronicles-sample-first.html. I have edited the post to insert it into the sample chapter text. I might adjust its appearance a bit. It seems an odd thing to do considering that the completed novel will almost certainly contain no illustrations. The ones I have put into the sample chapter post will not be in the published book. The flag will remain just a verbal description. However, actually creating the flags as real images brings the story to life for me and maybe readers will appreciate it too. I did the same for the Roswell trilogy, see: https://hpanwo-bb.blogspot.com/2018/07/roswell-redeemed-flags.html.
