The colors live a remarkable life of their own after they have been applied to the canvas, said the great artist Edvard Munch. These amazing pictures of nature with its fantastic landscapes mimic the national flags of different countries – Turkey, Poland, Peru, France, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Estonia, and Russia (image above). The flag of the Russian Federation is a tricolor flag consisting of three equal horizontal fields; white on the top, blue in the middle and red on the bottom. The flag was first used as an ensign for Russian merchant ships and only became official in 1896. The flag continued to be used by the Russian Provisional Government after the Tsar was toppled in the February Revolution and was not replaced until the October Revolution which established the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic – the world’s first constitutionally socialist state. The modern era flag underwent a proportion change in 1993 and has been official since 2000.

The flag of Turkey is red with a white crescent moon and a star in its center. The flag is called Ay-yıldız (moon-star) or Al bayrak (red flag). The Turkish flag is referred to as Al sancak (red banner) in the Turkish national anthem. The star and the moon are two sky elements symbolizing the Tengriist beliefs of the sky-worshiping ancient Turks. In Turkic Mythology four colors are associated with four cardinal directions: blue (gok) with east, white (ak) with west, red (al) with south, black (kara) with north.
