Human Statue of Liberty - 18,000 soldiers used in this unique display in 1918

This photograph shows a bird's-eye view of 18,000 soldiers at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa, positioned in the shape of the Statue of Liberty.

Great care in planning was required because of foreshortening.

The photograph was taken in 1918 and was used to promote war bonds near the end of World War I.

The Citroen they just couldn’t stop making

The Citroen 2CV was produced for over 40 years. These gangly Citroen’s were built between 1948 and 1990,

The 2CV (deux-cheveaux or ‘two horses’) was originally conceived in the late Thirties as a rugged, useful, affordable car.

Famously, it was designed with very specific requirements, including being able to carry four people and 50kg of goods at 30mph, across muddy and unpaved roads if necessary. In fact, it was suggested at the prototype stage that the 2CV should be able to carry a basket of eggs across a plowed field without whipping up an interior omelette, and also manage something like 80mpg while doing so. That’s one heck of a design requirement, and yet, after quite a few prototypes, Citroen actually managed it.

Real-life Lion King photo

A photographer was lucky enough to capture a real-life version of the Lion King on camera — as he spotted this Mufasa look-alike snoozing on a familiar-looking rock.

Will Burrard-Lucas was photographing wildlife in the Kidepo Valley National Park, a remote reserve in the north of Uganda, when he stumbled across the scene.

Burrard-Lucas had been trying to photograph a well-known dominant male lion, known by rangers as Spartacus, and when he managed to capture Spartacus, he wasn’t disappointed.
