This is amazing. Life magazine and Google are collaborating to put the magazine’s photo archive online.
Looking back at some of the pictures, especially the ones of Hawai’i in WWII (look at Diamond Head!), I am startled by their clarity, and by seeing them in an album like I would see pictures of my friends taken just days ago. It really brings history much closer for me.

That is AMAZING! Our blogs will all be so much better illustrated for this.

Fantastic! I zeroed right in on the photo of Lanikai and Rabbit Island. ..(the man picking up coconuts) We were in Hawaii in the 50’s and so many of those photos were familiar.
