Apollo 16 astronaut Charles Duke left this family photo behind on the moon in 1972.




Firemans Block - Austin, Nevada ca. 1880.



Lufthansa serving draft beer in the 1960s


Photographer Angus James was fortunate enough to capture this shot. He said :
“As l was pulling my lure from the fish to release back into the water, l noticed two little eyes looking back at me from inside the fish’s mouth. After capturing this picture, the little green tree frog leaped straight past my head onto the nearest tree.
It was one of the coolest things l have seen in my life. This is one lucky frog !”

And one unlucky fish. A hole ripped in it's jaw, brought out of the water, and it no lunch for the poor fish.

I have stayed in Austin a few times...on the "Loneliest Road in America", Route 50.

The drive from Austin to Ely is incredible. I was going this fast:

Yea, that is a fun road. Mountain pass curves, then a LONG wide open raod to the next set of mountains, and no traffic. My automatic non electrical GPS nag-agator kept repeating "slow down" and I was just going 60 MPH or so.


Macro photography of a flea. In the image you can see its eye, part of the antenna (next to the eye) and the genal comb; those well-differentiated structures like blades on the face.

What is this? At first I thought aerial photo, but it can't be due to the stenciled letter and numbers.

Doesn't appear to be underwater. Old with new id tag. Very thin sheet metal. Something soupy below.
I'm trying to figure it out as well.

I looks like a Harley parking spot.






The Arkansas Post (French: Poste de Arkansea) was the first European settlement in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain and present-day Arkansas. Henri de Tonti established it in 1686 as a French trading post on the lower Arkansas River,[2] where the French and Spanish traded with the Quapaw people for years.


That gentlemen, is a real hero!

My Alfa was pretending to be a Porsche. 19k on it and there was oil all over the place at the condo. Took it in (next door) and it was fixed in a jiffy. Somehow, the oil filter was damaged and had a crack in it. No damage to the undertray, so it must have been when the tech did the oil change.
