I haven't been out much lately so I will post another shot from last year. This was taken in September at a Civil War re-enactment at Van Raalte Farms in Holland.
War of the roses, the House of York was white, the House of Lancaster was red, basically in the end was a red and white rose for the House of Tudor. Inspire Me Thursday was dedicated to this textile to remind us that the end results may not be what you think you are waging war for.
So many men were slaughtered in Civil War battles that their remains are still being found on battlefields over a century and a half later. Even when battlefields are not now recognizable as such. (I have mentioned previously that the house I grew up in sits atop what was a Union battery, and its bones, during the battle of Corinth. That's Mississippi, not Greece, though the latter saw its carnage as well. Almost exactly two millennia previously.)
Tourists at Gettysburg recently discovered a young soldier, after heavy rains had washed back the little bit of earth then covering his shallow grave. The remains were examined by the Smithsonian, and found to belong to a man about 5 foot 8 inches tall, in his early 20s, who had been shot in the back of the head.
These tragically, foolishly dead are with us, "the devil's own planting... a harvest of death", wrote a superintendent at one battlefield, and they sometimes make us aware.
The devil would have it so.
Today I visited this Civil War cemetery a couple of miles from where I live. When I saw this badly worn and broken headstone, I was inspired to write this short poem:
"Here lies my body in this ground,
Yet I will never have any fame,
Because even though my grave is found,
Its stone no longer bears my name".
How sad is that, as if this person never existed to those visiting this cemetery over 100 years later?

This is one of the scene from Civil War II vol.7 where Tony Stark fights Captain Marvel because of the conflict to protect Spider-Man (Miles Morales) and Captain America (Steve Rogers). The whole war started with a new inhuman named Ulysses emerges with the ability to predict the future. Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) sees him as a way to protect the world by preventing something bad before it happened but Tony do not. Ulysses has seen a future where Miles killed Steve. Captain Marvel tries to detain Miles and Tony come to protect and fight in his enhanced armor suit.
This gun dates to the period 1809-1860, providing coastal defense in the War of 1812 and then a more complicated history in the Civil War.

Knoxville is a city in the U.S. state of Tennessee, and the county seat of Knox County. The city had an estimated population of 186,239 in 2016 and a population of 178,874 as of the 2010 census, making it the state's third largest city after Nashville and Memphis. Knoxville is the principal city of the Knoxville Metropolitan Statistical Area, which, in 2016, was 868,546, up 0.9 percent, or 7,377 people, from to 2015. The KMSA is, in turn, the central component of the Knoxville-Sevierville-La Follette Combined Statistical Area, which, in 2013, had a population of 1,096,961.
First settled in 1786, Knoxville was the first capital of Tennessee. The city struggled with geographic isolation throughout the early 19th century. The arrival of the railroad in 1855 led to an economic boom. During the Civil War, the city was bitterly divided over the secession issue, and was occupied alternately by both Confederate and Union armies.Following the war, Knoxville grew rapidly as a major wholesaling and manufacturing center. The city's economy stagnated after the 1920s as the manufacturing sector collapsed, the downtown area declined and city leaders became entrenched in highly partisan political fights. Hosting the 1982 World's Fair helped reinvigorate the city, and revitalization initiatives by city leaders and private developers have had major successes in spurring growth in the city, especially the downtown area.
Knoxville is the home of the flagship campus of the University of Tennessee, whose sports teams, called the "Volunteers" or "Vols", are extremely popular in the surrounding area. Knoxville is also home to the headquarters of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Tennessee Supreme Court's courthouse for East Tennessee and the corporate headquarters of several national and regional companies. As one of the largest cities in the Appalachian region, Knoxville has positioned itself in recent years as a repository of Appalachian culture and is one of the gateways to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

To view more image of Marlow, in Buckinghamshire , please click, "here"
Marlow (historically Great Marlow or Chipping Marlow) is a town and civil parish within Wycombe district in south Buckinghamshire, England. It is located on the River Thames, 4 miles (6.5 km) south-southwest of High Wycombe, 5 miles (8 km) west-northwest of Maidenhead and 33 miles (53 km) west of central London. The name is recorded in 1015 as Mere lafan, meaning "Land left after the draining of a pond" in Old English. From Norman times the manor, parish and later borough was formally known as Great Marlow, distinguishing it from Little Marlow. The ancient parish was large, including rural areas north and west of the town. In 1896 the civil parish of Great Marlow, created in the 19th century from the ancient parish, was divided into Great Marlow Urban District (the town) and Great Marlow civil parish (the rural areas). In 1897 the urban district was renamed Marlow Urban District, and the town has been known simply as Marlow Marlow is recorded in the Domesday Book as Merlaue. Magna Britannia includes the following entry for Marlow: "The manor of Marlow, which had belonged to the Earls of Mercia, was given by William the Conqueror, to his Queen Matilda. Henry the First, bestowed it on his natural son, Robert de Melhent, afterwards Earl of Gloucester, from whom it passed, with that title, to the Clares and Despencers, and from the latter, by female heirs, to the Beauchamps and Nevilles, Earls of Warwick. It continued in the crown from the time of Richard III's marriage with Anne Neville, until Queen Mary granted it to William Lord Paget, in whose family it continued more than a century; after which, it passed, by purchase, to Sir Humphrey Winch, in 1670; to Lord Falkland in 1686; to Sir James Etheridge in 1690; to Sir John Guise in 1718; and to Sir William Clayton in 1736. It is now the property of Sir William Clayton bart. a descendant of the last purchaser". Marlow owed its importance to its location on the River Thames, where the road from Reading to High Wycombe crosses the river. It had its own market by 1227 (hence the name Chipping Marlow), although the market lapsed before 1600. From 1301 to 1307 the town had its own Member of Parliament, and it returned two members from 1624 to 1867.
