Found a great gallery of patriotic pictures taken with early cameras. The pictures are of national symbols, like the Liberty Bell, the Statue of Liberty, and various US military badges. All of the images in the photos were made up of service men and women at the start of World War 1. The formations and photographs were done by artists Arthur Mole and John Thomas. Who donated all proceeds from the sale of the photographs to the families of slain soldiers.

Square America, a site devoted to collecting vintage snapshots, has a very interesting gallery of snapshots that have been colored. Basically they have been partially painted to enhance a particular feature of the photograph.

Some of the images are really incredible. Adding color to the old pictures really makes them stand out.

Check out the site for a lot more pictures.

I think this is great! How many times have you been in a location and you’ve seen a sign that says you can’t take photos? Usually I look around and just wonder why? Why don’t they want me to take photos here? What makes this place so special, or the stuff in it so secret, that I’m allowed to look but not take photos?

Well, I found a site that is devoted to nothing but pictures taken in places where photography is banned. Everything from museums to government buildings. And if you want to contribute, you can create your own account and start posting clandestine photos of forbidden places yourself.

By the way, the picture in this post came from the site. The irony of a photo of a sign banning photography is just hilarious. LOL

Found a post on Your Daily Awesome with some truly incredible pictures of a French nuclear test.

The pictures are from a group of tests done in the 1970. The French military conducted over 200 nuclear tests in French Polynesia starting in 1966 and continuing until 1996.
