    One cold morning last year, we attended an estate in the Niagara Falls where we were fortunate enough to come across and purchase a rare World War I Richard Verascope stereo camera previously owned by the French Army.

    The camera is in pristine condition and included the original leather carrying case and glass slides. Each slide is a piece of history in photographic form and I get shivers every time I place a glass slide into the 3D stereo viewer.

    Only at A Nerd’s World 986 Bathurst street can you see the 3D stereo camera, viewer, and actual World War I slides in person – leaving you with an experience you’ll never forget.

    Paris, seen from the observation deck of the Eiffel Tower:

    It is already one of the most beautiful and breathtaking cities in the world, but this view is simply awe-inspiring.

    I want to go back to Paris... :(

    Tip, if you have watermarked pictures , use google image search or tineye to see if there is an original because a watermarked picture means that someone is probably trying to claim the work as their own. If they do own the work then you probably aren't allowed to post it. If they don't own the work they should be subject to the full rigours of the law :mad:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Uss_iowa_bb-61_pr.jpg
    USS Iowa (BB-61) fires a full broadside of her nine 16"/50 and six 5"/38 guns during a target exercise near Vieques Island, Puerto Rico (21°N 65°W). Note concussion effects on the water surface, and 16-inch gun barrels in varying degrees of recoil.

    Opened on July 7, 1989, the Atlantic Road is a National Tourist Route and was honoured as Norway’s Construction of the Century in 2005. The Atlantic is an 8.3 kilometer (5.2 miles) section of Country Road 64 which runs between the towns of Kristiansund and Molde, the two main population centres in the county of More og Romsdal in Fjord, Norway. The road is built on several small islands and skerries, which are connected by several causeways, viaducts and eight bridges
