MUIR GLACIER BEFORE: A late-19th century photograph of Alaska's Muir Glacier shows many icebergs — some nearly 7-feet wide — in the foreground.

MUIR GLACIER NOW: By 2005, Muir Glacier had retreated more than 31 miles. Although this picture was taken from the same location as the early black-and-white photograph, the glacier is completely out of view. There’s an abundance of vegetation looking to the west, and the beach in the foreground is now covered by pebbles, which came from sediment deposited by Muir Glacier and by melting icebergs on the ground.

THE ALPS NOW: The Swiss peak, pictured on August 18, 2005, is eroding as a result of melting glacier water at the summit. The water sinks into cracks and creates even bigger fissures after several cycles of freezing and thawing. The disintegration of Matterhorn is anecdotal of the effects of climate change in most of the Alps.

THE DANUBE RIVER BEFORE: The Danube, Europe's second longest river, flows eastward from its source in Germany to the Black Sea in Romania. The Danube river basin is critical to supporting industry, transport, agriculture, and fishing.

THE DANUBE RIVER NOW: Between 2011 and 2012, a persistent drought led to record-low water levels along the Danube, stranding boats and paralyzing parts of the busy waterway.

Chicago

Chicago may need to be renamed the foggy city after these incredible images of the tallest buildings bursting through the morning mist.

Shot from the 69th floor of the iconic John Hancock Center the spectacular snaps capture the rare sight of early morning fog rolling in from Lake Michigan shrouding the Windy City.

Photographer John Harrison, 60, captured the breathtaking scenes from his home office in the 98-floor skyscraper which he calls his ‘room with a view’.

John, originally from Connecticut, but who has been living in Chicago since 1995 said: “For me there are a few things which make photography unique.

‘The first is a view nobody else has and the other is being able to capture something unusual people don’t see every day.

‘This probably doesn’t happen more than four times the year, it’s not like California where it’s foggy every morning so it’s not a common sight.

‘Not many people see it except for us being high off the ground so to them it looks like a normal cloudy day.

‘I love being between two cloud levels – it’s fascinating because it’s always different every snap is unique.

‘I call in my room with a view. I work from home so I have cameras on tripods in three windows ready to go at all times.

‘They’re the start of a bigger project I want to embark on – my dream is to travel the world and sit in high rises and catalogue the world from different rooms with a view.

Old is Gold…Some Vintage Photo Collections For You !!!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

I love old photos because this is the only way I can really see our history. I like to check out the details such as clothing, decorations or food products because is not only interesting to see their habits but also how these evolved during decades or centuries. The images below were taken in the ’30s in various circumstances from an ice-skating scene and all the way to a legendary image with Stalin fooling around. I hope that you like them as much as I do.

 Very Interesting Photos From The ’30s…

Einstein with Einstein Puppet

The photo was taken by Harry Burnett at Cal Tech in Pasadena where Albert Einstein was teaching. Einstein saw the puppet perform at the Teato Torito and was quite amused. He reached into his jacket’s breast pocket, pulled out a letter and crumpled it up. Speaking in German, he said, “The puppet wasn’t fat enough!” He laughed and stuffed the crumpled letter up under the smock to give the puppet a fatter belly.

 

 

 

A photograph of the making of a programme by the BBC about driving errors, taken by Saidman in 1939 for the Daily Herald.

 

 

Stalin is captured in this photograph by Lt. Gen. Nikolai Vlasik, the Soviet dictator’s bodyguard. Vlasik’s off-the-record photos of Stalin caused a sensation in the early 1960s when an enterprising Soviet journalist spirited some out, selling them to newspapers and magazines worldwide.
