Now I'm impressed
If you are a history buff or just someone that can appreciate recorded history, you will really want to take the time to look at all these photos--
A company does HD photo restorations of vintage pics from the Library of Congress.
Pictures from various states from the late 1800's, amazing shots of life back then.

Very cool, thanks for posting! :thumbup:
Those are truly astonishing, especially number 46. All astonishing when you consider the cumbersome equipment they had to use and the exposure times.

I wish i had taken more photos back in the 60s when I received my first camera.

I was amazed at the masses of people like at the Jersy Shore and the air poplution in the cities. Was certainly a tough life back then and very well captured in this collection. I enjoyed seeong it. Ehanks Sarge69
