Nifty new online archive

Google, in its ever pressing desire to take over the world, has introduced a new archive of photos from Life dating from the beginning of photographs to the 1970s. Some of the photos have never been published before. Linky.

There's a lot of cool stuff, like a bunch of old-timey pictures of airbases like Barksdale. Or pictures of the Ruins of Persepolis, one of the 10 coolest places in the world American's really can't go. Cuba during the Spanish-American War. Kittens. Basically, anything you want.

That's pretty awesome. I think my favorite photo is this:

I'm kind of blogging again. We'll see how long it lasts :)

Those are some really cool photos. A different Barksdale than we are used to!
I checked the 70's and there were none of my teen years there. Alas, no disco.
