These images have been around the block a few times. Still very nice, though.

This is the third (fourth?) posting of that Big Picture link; they're great photos though!

Here's the source - all 2600-some of Prokudin-Gorskii's photos were digitized about a decade ago and they are ALL available over at the Library of Congress website: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?st=grid&co=prok

I'm going to spend an evening or two mining through them next week for further Russian scenery ideas, especially his rural photos.

Thanks for reminding us of them. Really cool stuff and inspirational for our group in our preparation for our big RCW weekend.
