Hungarian village of Vácrátót

I really find it hard to think of a more courageous person than this guy. I mean, if the tanks don't kill him, the government will. In a way that would probably have made him wish the tanks had done it. This is the gold standard of bravery to which we must all aspire.

Historians are only now realizing just how populous North American was before the sweeping devestation of smallpox and other diseases that came with the Europeans. Some estimates are as high as 90% of pre-contact population being wiped out.

Hero in a mask!

A female pioneer in STEM. I hope her name isn't lost to history.

Baby looks like she wants to kill whoever is behind the camera. Very cute though, I love this

Such bravery, very terrible they had to lose their lives.

Most of the kids look upset, but I like how the kid closest to the left looks kind of in awe.

I hope he made it, war really is hell. Even if he made it, the affects last a life time

Thank you for sharing

The anxiety I have, just looking at this...

That Barrymore chin

He was an Air Force fighter pilot who was shot down over Hanoi in 1967, and was held as a pow for nearly 6 years. I love the joy in this photo, lovely.

Well who took his picture? 0_0

I can't even ride a bike and I want one of these

This is the year before he went to the Munich Olympic Games and embarrassed the Nazis by winning four gold medals

It was for this reason that I refused to get a portable CD player while I was in high school. I stayed with cassettes for a long time! lol

I wish we had someone like him today. His humor in general, and in particular, his ability to skewer bad politicians.

The first time I went to visit my “aunt’s” family on the rez, the family had pooled their money and built a nice modern house. Her mother had never walked up a long flight of stairs before. She had never lived in a building that wasn’t on the ground. The actual ground. Her house had a dirt floor., her mother had never seen an electric lightbulb. What shock and confusion when they flipped a switch up and lights came on in the ceiling. It had indoor plumbing. She never used it the entire time they lived there. You don’t do that in the house. She always used the outhouse. The entire rez was an interesting place to be.

Yeah, seems staged considering what they are wearing.

I wonder why

oh wow. what a pity that such a culture is succumbed. to modernism

Blackfoot Indian clothing & headgear phenomenal.

Because they want to go McScalpin

Mom looks so young.

Poor brother, having to grow up with 13 sisters. Not to mention the mother, who had to birth them all.

I haven't seen this shot before! I love how happy she is here.

That's absolutely beautiful.

Photo by Richard Lasher, a Boeing employee with a passion for photography. He overslept the day he planned to go seeing the smoking volcano and maybe have a bike ride around Spirit Lake. Luckily for him, it exploded while he was some distance away. He run out of the car and took some photos, but the cloud was overtaking him. He jumped on the bike and tried to get away, reaching the town of Randle before the cloud hit. The next day he rode back to recover his car, took some photos but was found by security officers and airlifted out of the striken area, spending the night in jail.

Wow. It's mind boggling to think all of the data in those cables could now be transmitted by a small fiber optic cable. And the dozens / maybe hundreds of switch operators in the buildings below could be replaced by a router or two.

Beautiful, elegant.

I hope he was able to go back to a happly family

Cannot comprehend racism. I just hope some of those students internally questioned it

Why the specialized footwear? He couldn't just wear boots?

The basketball looks so small in his hand!

And you thought the tinny beeping of a phone was irritating!

The last time I was in Gettysburg, just pre-Covid, I saw a confederate flag waving off the back of a pick-up truck. Disgusting!

I hate to imagine everything her and her family is going through, truly strong.

Some of my family came through on Ellis Island at one time. Bless their Republican hearts, it only took two generations for them to have absolutely no sympathy for immigrants (or anyone really). #blessed. Bleeeehhhh.

Oh god no. The bravery of those men is something else

Lincoln was assisted by a young Marine. The soldier in the dress whites was assisted by a photographer with a retouching pen.

Why dangerous? Sure the metal was always red hot in the summer, and the sides were always low, and there wasn't eight foot of padding below you, but we survived just the same. It gave you an extra incentive to not fall off.

You can tell he's a professional from that stance

They're thinking, "What next?"

I love her outfit, I’d wear that.

Wow now that is an accomplishment

Very elegant

So changed now.

I think Sophia Loren was in the act of noticing Jayne Mansfield supporting the 'free the nipple' movement ;)

Travelling knife sharpener, now that's something I never thought I'd see.

Having an accordion player in the background is hilarious.
