Glorious photos
There was lots more on the Web about yesterday's moon landing anniversary. But the best of all, I think, was this Apollo 11 Panorama posted to Hans Nyberg's Panoramas site. If you want to see what the moon really looked like to those who landed there, this is probably as close as you can get.
For more wonderful photos, there's Square America.This site takes photos found in old photo albums and posts them by category: Proms, kitchens, sleeping people, neighbors, with guns. These are ordinary Americans doing ordinary things but the combined effect of these faces and lost way of life is beautiful. posted by liz at 12:02 PM
