Lots of nice pictures at that site.

But these two pictures make me a little sad.

the Model T went through the stump in 1913, and already there were few signs of the primordial forest that produced this stump.

Then almost 40 years later, this sedan goes through the same stump, and now it's in an open field.

That's why Red Cedar is used for fence posts, rot resistance, although they probably sealed the top with tar or something.

Been there, done that.

It's now surrounded by a rest stop on northbound I-5.

If you look closely, you can see SonoV wearing my Cowichan hat in the second row on the left. You can't see me cause I'm holding the camera. This shot was taken in January of 2009.

That was to later become the reflecting pool toward the Washington monument, they built for Forest Gump to wade in.

Changes in the Bank of England "dealing room" over 50 years. You can see the technology changed, the dress has changed, unfortunately the level of sleaze doesn't show in a photograph. They did add two women way down the other end in the 90's, and still have one, but I'm sure these pictures don't show most of the operation.

Indeed dress has changed for quite understandable reasons:

SIR – Wearers of red trousers are not the only sartorial outcasts.

I recently attempted to find a pinstripe suit. Having visited several outfitters on Jermyn Steet, I asked an assistant why I could only find racks of plain suits mitigated by an occasional herringbone weave. He explained that since the banking crisis no one wished to look like a City banker. I replied that the dullness of the alternatives made everyone resemble accountants.

(There had been a number of letters about committing the sartorial blunder of wearing red trousers. Jeeves! My smelling salts and look sharp about it!)
