Those incredible Soviet Trains.

While I’m certainly not a fan of military history or military equipment (God forbid!), those Soviet Armoured Trains are simply incredible; their design is pure steampunk; some of them look like the Nautilus. Which alone is worth mentioning it here. Have a glimpse at these monsters:

Cities and Towns.

A few photos from the enormous Charles W. Cushman Collection [Cities and Towns]. Via things.

Charles Weever Cushman, amateur photographer and Indiana University alumnus, bequeathed approximately 14,500 Kodachrome color slides to his alma mater. The photographs in this collection bridge a thirty-two year span from 1938 to 1969, during which time he extensively documented the United States as well as other countries.
