Two Old Snapshots

File under: Found Photos

Here are two old snapshots I picked up somewhere. Picture one shows the Ford Glass Automobile exhibited at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Picture two is Niagara Falls. Both are dated June 1939. Somewhere around here I have a snapshot of the Trylon & Perisphere, as well as one of the Soviet Pavilion--if I can find them, I'll put them up later on...

Moscow Metro Photos

Take a few minutes to explore the ne plus ultra of Socialist Realist Kitsch that is the Moscow Metro, courtesy of the artist, Bee Flowers. Amazing.

The rest of her website is also quite excellent, particularily the section on Megastructures.

Offshore Oil Rig Models

Beautiful scale models of offshore oil rigs. The attention to detail in these models is really stunning.
