Description

"Acuity at Night"
Here's s a night scene I just shot at the Acuity Insurance campus in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Seen in the background (1/4 mile away!) is the famous Acuity American flag on a 400' tall flagpole, the largest free-flying American flag in the world. Some "fun facts" from the company's website:
*The 400' flagpole is nearly 100 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty.
*At 70 by 140 feet, the flag is the world's largest free-flying American flag.
*The 9,800-square-foot flag itself weighs 250 pounds.
*The 420,000 pound flagpole is designed to withstand wind speeds up to 120 miles per hour.
*Three pendulum-style tuned mass dampers reduce movement and vibration.
*Over 500 gallons of paint cover the pole, and the foundation needed 680 cubic yards of concrete.
