Hope this is a good place for this...

and I also hope I succeed in posting the photo from 1918 which this 'fact' sheet describes (I have failed in the past):

Someone has put it online for all of us to see.
INCREDIBLE picture was taken in 1918.

It is 18,000 men preparing for war in a training camp at Camp Dodge Iowa.

 

Now that is amazing. A fine piece. Thanks Clint

 

This is really cool! Where did you find this?

 

"Standing Tall", right

In fact an amazing photo, for considering the perspective effect the numer of men grows as they get farther and farther away from the base. It only works from a certain poit of view in 3D space, the one where the photo was taken at the exact second.

Whoever did this certainly knew what he was doing!

Thank you sir!

 

My son opens his curtains every morning in Uni in UK to this site. At night its a different pic when its all lit up.

 

A fellow cancer survivor, who now lives in AZ set me this photo as an e-mail attachment. She didn't say where she had found it, but I think it was sent to her as a "forward mail" thingie from one of her friends.

Glad you guys liked it! And correct-o Za, the photographer who set up that shot in 1918 certainly DID know his craft. I was also taken by the use of slightly different tunic shades to create the illusion of folds in the robe and such. Really amazing attention to "detail" on a grand scale. Thanks for the salutes guys!
