Photo Feature Archives
The Photo Feature was launched on the main page on March 12, 2005 as part of a main page redesign, replacing the quote article. Images run on the main page with a description as well as the date that they were photographed. They are run at 350×467 resolution at that location if vertical, and at 600×450 if horizontal.
On this page, images are presented thumbnail-size. Click the thumbnail image to see the full-size image, which is presented at full resolution, and is available for download.
