Some rare and some historic photos

I think that among these, the most depressing (for me) are the ones of those men cutting down the redwoods. How can man be so incredibly stupid to cut down something that has taken more than a thousand years to grow? Why? What for?

Enjoy old photos like this, except for the Ronald Mcdonald. That is just creepy.

Stunning post. The 1863 Swim Club photo is the most fun. I agree with the felling of the redwoods but find the building of the Berlin Wall the most depressing. Thanks for this post Simón.

Fabulous array of pictures there... I think the one I'm most sensitive about is the one of Martin Luther King picking out a burn cross out of his garden while his son watches.
