Just wanted to post a link to the Library of Congress Flickr page. I’ve been following it for a while now and love some of the historic images that they post. 

We live in an age where digital cameras make it trivially easy to share images with the world so seeing pictures from times when it wasn’t so easy to show the world a captured moment is wonderful.
