Kodachrome

I recently heard about some photos that have been attracting Internet attention lately. They are primarily from the 1930s and 1940s and were taken with Kodachrome, one of the first color films. (Wikipedia offers an introduction to Kodachrome here.)

I've seen some beautiful travel photos, but these take my breath away. Really, take a look.

[Footnote: Those of you with an interest in technology and sci-fi might also be reminded of Walter Tevis' 1963 novel The Man Who Fell to Earth. At least I was.]

Next up on the blog: how to survive and prosper in an international post-doc (or any position abroad/in Germany.) I have gathered my fair share of experience and advice in these past nine months!
