History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Old Man of The Mountain

 Tourists who visited New Hampshire in the past were always drawn to Echo Lake in Franconia, where high above the lake on the edge of Franconia Notch was located The Old Man of The Mountain. It was a natural rock formation in the form of a man's facial profile. It is believed that the Old Man was born out of the ice age, resulting in the formation. On May 3, 2003, after standing for 198 years, the Old Man of The Mountain collapsed, never to be seen again.
