San Francisco, 1906

This is very cool. Someone scanned an old photograph of San Francisco after the earthquake and fire 1906. Click on the link to be able to zoom in for much better look—it has surprisingly good quality. What blows my mind about this—other than the quality of the shot using early 20th-century technology—is how big, how urban, the city already was so early on. And it was taken from an "airship." How cool is that?
