Two very cool Flickr groups

In this one, people hold up international souvenirs in front of the real thing.

In this one, run by Jason Powell, who's on an email list with me, people take a modern photo and seamlessly merge it with an old one. (Both groups highlighted in this CNN piece.)

Nice!

Life in pictures

A young soldier's life in pictures, from recruiting station to active duty and back to a courtroom marriage. Fascinating.

TIME has a cool slideshow: What becomes of Olympic stadiums after the Olympics leave town?
