Time lapse footage of Sudbury Town Common on a cloudy day showing about a dozen people planting hundreds of small ankle-high solid color flags in the grass. The flags are evenly spaced and are grouped into two distinct white and purple sections. In the distance, a fire truck is parked adjacent to a tree and to the left of Sudbury Town Hall.
