Glory, my workplace productivity hasn't taken this big a hit since the big black pit of Facebook opened up.
And I've only just dipped my toe in, but favourites so far include:
The irrepressible George S. Patton.
The Melbourne Cricket Ground and surrounding area at the time of the 1956 Olympic Games.
And a team at work on some neon Olympic signage at the same time.
A cinematic, and somewhat unsettling, image of a truck driver pulling out of a petrol station.
An open stretch of highway on Route 66 before Pixar made it popular again.
And a beautiful, iconic shot of Manhattan shrouded in fog. Or smog. Maybe it's smog? Still beautiful, either way. Love the foreground-midground-background gradations.
So much, so much, so much there. Jump in, and let me know which images appeal to you.

The series of this seemingly tame lion living with a family in Austin TX, has taken my interest in the last week. While the ones said lion in a speedboat, or hanging out a car window are funny, it's this one that disturbs/intrigues me the most; if a photo like this got published today, there'd be an uproar. I thinking Steve Irwin's Croc-feeding/baby handling or Michael Jackson's Berlin Hotel Window trick have nothing on this

This set is gold, and surely hard to top? I think this needs a post all of its own. :)
