I ran across this collection of photos from the 1800s by a photographer named Timothy O' Sullivan. I thought you may enjoy them.

Great stuff thanks very much for sharing. I was at Sedona a few years ago and visited the cliff dwelling shown in this collection.

Gosh....it is so wonderful to be able to see into the past like this...only due to that thing we call a "camera". Wouldn't it be neat if someone would photograph the same locations today and put both images next to each other?

Just think, what will people think 150 years from now about our photos?

All the best,
