A photo of a 20 week old fetus, taken by swedish (oh yeah!) photographer Lennart Nilsson for his book "A child is born" from 1965, which was a collection of the first real photos of the development of a human life. Astonishing both for the emergence of a new life and for the pioneering work of his.

And here's a real gem! A russian color photo taken between - wait for it - 1905-15! Looking at these pictures. actually makes me shed a tear over the ingeniousness that led to such achievements that early, and what other kinds of advances could have taken place had the people been allowed to freely create and develop. But we all know what happened with Russia shortly thereafter...

Those Russian colour pictures are really incredible.

Yes, those were amazing and really give you a different perspective of the time.

the joy of a victory well earned....and the absolute agony of defeat (also one of the greatest moments last year)

Joseph Kittinger, the first man in space jumping from his balloon from 102,800 feet up, or 31,300 M

A colour picture of Yuri Gagarin (he was the cosmonaut in my avatar once) preparing for the first spaceflight ever.

I think it says one other word as well: karma.

Seeing as most of the ones I've wanted to post have already been done, here's a pic of Freddie Mercury during Live Aid. One of my fave music pictures ever:
