Bald eagle, not a pigeon, tops the light

This is how these old lamp posts are supposed to look, unlike the previous picture, in which the eagles had been replaced by pigeons.

Flags are being flown on lights along Constitution and Pennsylvania avenues to honor the victims of a suicide bomb attack on the airport in Kabul last week.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Nice feeling of patriotism here - the eagle looks great atop of it all. V

I agree, this is so much nicer

that fits better with the flag, although the eagle could be a bit bigger...
