The beautiful Keokuk Iowa sunset as seen from across the Mississippi river in a very windy, yet calm and peaceful, Hamilton Illinois.
I don't yet know why there's an initial sound glitch.

An external inspection of the Unitarian Church at the corner of 4th and High Street in Keokuk, Iowa. The church building is historical and beautiful, but it is scheduled to be demolished because it is in sad shape and the people of Keokuk (the poorest city in Iowa and 14th poorest city in America) do not have the funds to undertake the expensive proposition of completely repairing this building.
I wanted to capture what I could of this structure before it's demolished. I would like to also document the interior as well, if that was an option.
Here's a video someone else took of the inside of the Church:

Here's the actual demolition that occurred 6 months later on 12/13/2017-12/28/2017:

The Glen Pilkington P.O.W. Memorial in Hamilton IL, overlooking the Mississippi River.
The plaque reads:
"This flag pole and eagle memorial is being dedicated this 4th day of July 2003 in the name of Glen Pilkington who was held as a prisoner of war of more than 43 months during World War II. In addition the dedication extends to all past present and future prisoners of war or missing in action. Further it is dedicated to all men and women who served in the armed services of the United States of America. People and Businesses of this area provided funds for this project. The Hamilton community development coalition and the Hamilton Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 5256 Developed this project"
Another plaques honors the heroes of the following wars: WWI, WWII, Vietnam War, Korean War, and Middle East
Sorry the camera wasn't always steady. It was pretty windy, which was good for the flag shots, but tricky for getting a good shot of the plaques. :-)

Today when I went to fly my DJI Mavic Pro using Litchi, I got a flattened/compressed horizontal image covering the center 1/3rd of the screen. This also appeared yesterday during a test as well.
Has anyone else seen this before?

Our neighbors (the LDS Sister Missionaries) surprised us today by shoveling our sidewalks for us. :-)

In honor of the new Jungle Cruise movie that came out today, I dug up this old clip of our family riding the ride 20 years ago. The cheesy humor is a classic. :-)
