"This has to be the only man-made destruction that can bee seen with the naked eye from space."

No, you can see Los Angeles from space.

I read this headline with the narrator's voice from "Dr. Strangelove" (who had a similar line).

"Each B-52 can deliver a nuclear bombload of 50 megatons, equal to 16 times the total explosive force of all the bombs and shells used by all the armies in World War Two."

Does anybody know if Niépce's home still exists? It would be eversocool to have the same photo taken with a modern DSLR.

I have looked at several other photo hosting services (Smugmug, Zenfolio, 500px, etc.) and while they all do a competent job at hosting photos, it is the communities that have developed on Flickr that I would miss.

Yes, other sites have their own communities, but leaving one for another is like moving to a strange new town that you don't know anybody in.
