Looking very much like a white haired (feathered!) old man (bird!) this male Blackbird is shedding his feathers before getting his Winter plumage. I think he looks rather cute and will no doubt look as handsome as ever in a few weeks time : )

In the foreground is the North Carolina Court of Appeals Building, dating from 1914, long known as the Ruffin Building in the 1st half of the 20th century. The towering structure is the Wachovia Capitol Center, a 30-story structure of granite and glass, 406 feet tall, built in 1991. This is in Raleigh.

The old church at Olden, at the inner end of Nordfjord, Norway
Olden has two churches. The old one in the village was built in 1759 on the site of a stave church dating from around 1300. Its pew doors and jambs are made from timbers of the stave church. The "new" church, a short distance along the valley, was built in 1934 so that the old church could be preserved. There is no heating or lighting in the old church.
Photos of the interior of this lovely church follow in my photostream.

I thought I'd add this photo of this beautiful old man to the group. (My first ever Coyote photo after moving to Canada.)
He was very old, hardly any teeth, half blind and full of arthritis. He used to sit by the road pull-in waiting for an equally old human guy to feed him. I never met the old guy after waiting for a while and never saw this Coyote again. Although, he was the inspiration for a children's book I wrote a few months later. In that he is over 20,000 years old and the guardian of the forests who passes on the guardianship to our four cats..... Maybe some one will publish it one day.....
An old German Wood Stove. The anachronism of a new electronic themometer stands out on the top shelf.

The 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) Caisson Platoon; “The President’s Own” Marine Band; and Marines from the Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C. (8th and I) conduct modified military funeral honors with funeral escort for U.S. Marine Corps Private First Class Harry Morrissey in Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia, September 22, 2020. Morrissey was killed during World War II at age 27.
From the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) press release:
On October 9, 1942, Morrissey was a member of Company B, 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division, participating in a main offensive action in the Battle of Guadalcanal. After nearly two months of battle, the regiment completed their action. However, due to rapid unit movement, Marines who had been killed in action were buried hastily. Morrissey and two other Marines from his battalion were reportedly interred in graves atop Hill 73.
From 1947 through 1949, the American Graves Registration Service searched for isolated burials on Guadalcanal but did not associate any remains with Morrissey. Based on the lack of information, Morrissey was declared non-recoverable.
In 2011, Yorick Tokuru, a resident of Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands, located possible remains near his home on the western edge of Skyline Ridge (Hill 73). A team of Royal Solomon Islands Police Force investigators excavated the site and turned recovered remains over to the state archaeologist. The archaeologist turned the remains over to John Innes, an Australian expert on the Battle of Guadalcanal, who in turn contacted the Joint POW/MIA Recovery Command (JPAC, the predecessor unit to DPAA).
On July 12, 2013, Ewan Stevenson, a Guadalcanal native living in New Zealand, contacted JPAC stating more remains had been recovered near the site of the 2011 recovery location.
On August 6, 2013, the remains were unilaterally turned over to JPAC for identification. Morrissey was officially identified and accounted for on August 28, 2017.
To identify Morrissey’s remains, scientists from DPAA used dental and anthropological analysis, as well as circumstantial and material evidence.
Morrissey’s cousin, Patricia Rigole, received the flag from Morrissey’s casket.
