interesting bunch of photography specific blogs out there powered by Tumbler, here's a couple interesting shots

This was a moment that was caught perfectly, pilot in the plane, rescue person on the way up the tree http://t-s-k-b.tumblr.com/
I can't get the link to this source, it was H Edge .Tumbler.com yeah, just try to find it when you need it, right?

I posted the velodrome shot because it's a moment of history when it mattered to a lot of people to be there for bike races, either to be fans, or spectators. Just put velodromes and biek racing right up there with pole sitting, listening to radio shows, musical movies, and the other kooky things America was hooked on for entertainment

Lost to yesteryear, only known to us by photographs

It was called an Auto wash bowl (right there in the photo) and probably existed until the modern car wash idea. this photo is in Chicago, 1924... and they probably used this method to get the horse crap off the bottom of the cars is my best guess

1916 Chevrolet board track racer at the velodrome. You've probably never heard of a velodrome, or board track racing. Both were made obsolete when modern paving was invented.
