Description of the flag

The flag reported by Andersson [and92] is blue, red, and yellow - a variation on the Swedish flag. It was first used in 1992.
Jan Oskar Engene, 18 March 1996

The flag is shown at http://www.bockensvanner.se/halsingland.html
The flag was designed by Bisse Thofelt.
The symbolism of the colours are:

• Blue: the sky, the mountains, the lakes, but most of all - poetry.
• Red: the heart, the blood, and the cowberries.
• Yellow: the cloudberries, and the sun.
