Post by: Windpower on November 19, 2010, 09:40:23 AM
 A collection of 70 photos from the early 40's


Someone commented this was one of the finest photos he had ever seen

I can't disagree

Great images. Thanks for posting these. I couldn't get the link to resolve into the gallery you were viewing, but found this slideshow of B&W photos (pre 1950):

Such as this native house trying to survive in 1912.

Cool pix and black and whites, John.

I see more links at the bottom of the blog.

Very cool Russian early 1900's color.
