The aptly named color inspiration blog COLOURlovers recently posted color schemes taken directly from The Great Depression and WWII. Through Flickr , The Library of Congress shares some photos from the Farm Security Administration and the Office of War Information from the 1930s to the 1940s.
Driving down the 5 through Oregon, I always was shocked to see a giant 500 foot tall nuclear cooling tower poking up out of the beautiful Columbia River scenery. This, as I learned, was the Trojan Nuclear Power Plan, and on May 21, the cooling tower was demolished.
