I was about to call that it was in fact Berlin after the Russians arrived. The German Reich shook.

They were part of a set of six taken in the months after the earthquake and show some of the ruins along Market Street and scenes taken from the roof of the Hotel Majestic, on Sutter Street near Gough Street.

The Hotel Majestic still exists, and is a lovely little boutique hotel.  I stayed there in '05.   :)

Given that sort of "color", not really more impressive than the black and white ones.

To be fair, Garbon has a point.  Ruins are ruins, whether you take pictures of them in color or b&w.

Sure I'll be positive.  I'm pleased with the GOP's efforts in Wisconsin.

Whenever Timmy shake off a thread on the latest Japan earthquake, can we use the same puns? :unsure:



Edit: Oh shit, an 8.9 could be a nasty one, maybe I won't joke about it. :(
