Amazing Photo's of Soldiers Forming Giant Images. (must see)

This form of photography has been around for quite some time, but these photos are brand new to me.

Most of these photos were taken by Englishman Arthur Mole and his American colleague John D. Thomas.

Up to 18,000 troops were used in a single photo.

The camera's distance in some photos is over half a mile away


Look closely, those little dots are all soldiers.













Impressive.

Wow! Impressive is right! Thanks much; I'd never seen any images like this either.

Beautiful.

S+F - Those are some great photo's!

Anyone else find it ironic that the Liberty Bell is cracked?

Maybe it was a warning?



Amazing pictures nonetheless.

ha yeah it is a little ironic, well maybe more then a little...

thanks for the S/F.

This should take care of the question.

WOW! Those pics are stunning! Thanks so much for sharing them with us. I just love art like this!

I am wondering about this as well.

Good observation.

i was/am aware of the bells history, however it doesn't change the irony in the fact that something that is supposed to represent our liberty is broken.

just like the country that is supposed to represent liberty.

Not back when these pictures where taken...
ahh the good ole days =)

I would say these photos are masonic demonic. Woodrow wilson was our worst president ever. And these soldiers were used to form bad visions...

I like the photo evidence but not the photos. Or the Idea.

Hmm, i didn't look at it that way, but you have a good point, the circle with the winged star is somewhat eerie.

there are quite a few that i don't see as anything more then just an artistic expression of patriotism from way back when.

Even tho you don't like the idea of this, you have to admit its scale alone is impressive.

i don't like McDonald's, but i admit there success (size/scale) is impressive (you get where I'm going)

wow

the images are amazing

good find

Great photos. Makes me feel all patriotic, or something. Haven't felt much of that lately.

Sorry, but they look really fake and look like they came straight from worth1000

Just my opinion - no need to shoot me.

The liberty bell is cracked because it couldnt hold its own weight... happened a long long time ago. So the imagery is accurate.. and the pictures are very impressive and I haven't seen them before. Thank you for your post.

hmm you can check out the artist, and do a search of there work if you don't believe these are legit.

i wont shoot you, but i will suggest following up your statements rather then simply suggesting fakery and offering up a site which doesn't carry the photos in question as proof.

Oh yeah. This makes me REAL happy (NOT!).

Good to see our tax dollars are being put to good use.

Yes. Pretty pictures. But seriously?!

Hate to burst your bubbles, but North Korea definitely has us beat in the giant-people-pictures department.
