Overview

After my annual domestic roadtrips, I have sometimes sent you local Swedish flags. This year, I didn’t encounter anything really  spectacular or unusual, but at least I noticed that FOTW lacks the municipal flag of Strömstad, which I visited, so here it is.
My sketch is based on my photos in combination with the picture and description of the coat of arms as featured on the municipality’s homepage ().
The colours in my sketch are the ones provided by the municipality itself, but the font and the proportions of the flag are approximate. (not being an vexillologist myself, I don’t even know if there are standard proportions that flags normally adhere to).
Attached is my sketch, and in case you could have any use for that, two photos of the flag flying from the town’s central square.
Hopefully this can be of use. I enjoy trying to return the favours that good web sites such as yours provide.
