The "Post A Cool Picture" Thread

I'm also curious about the uniform his great grandfather's wearing.

 

I'll see your

That is freaking awesome.

I just got these in a forwared e-mail. From a Memorial day airshow in New York.






Shot of San Francisco about 6 weeks after 1906 earthquake.

The Legend!

 

Thanks for the feedback. My mother's side of the family hails from Mexico City, and my great-grandfather was a captain in the Mexican navy. He was injured and eventually died from wounds received in combat about 10 years after this picture was taken (if I remember correctly).

 

I see your Turn-Of-The-Century ancestor picture and raise you:

My dad and ALL 9 of his brothers and sisters (my dad is the young white-complected buck on the left) and more relatives


My dad's father, brother and sister at the turn of the century that I cleaned/photoshopped:

I never thought I'd use this photo. Thank you for letting me dig this out. I am proud of my REVOLUTIONARY ancestry. See the knife? They fought for the opposite side of your family in the 1910's

 

i dont know why, but that looks a screenshot from a next gen video game.

 

are any of those currency notes real? I've heard of the 10,000 dollar bill but a billion dollar bill with robert e lee?? I mean those look real but with the way photoshop artists are nowadays you can never be sure. There is no back for the 100,000. Also the back of the billion has the treasury which could be easily be lifted from the back of a 10. Also why would the 100k bill have gold stamping letter and have a look of a certificate and the 1bill look like a reg bill?

if anyone has more info on the bills that would be awesome

 

A friend of mine pass me this photo, is a sunset in Cozumel, Mexico

 

The $100,000 bill hasn't been issued since the 1930's and was only used by the government. The billion dollar bill is a fake. You can read more about large US currencys here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_denominations_of_United_States_currency

 

The second greatest picture I ever took in my life...

The camera I used wasn't exactly high end...

Still...

I love it...

Pure greatness and an AMAZING experience at the particular moment...

Anyone who went can tell you...
