With the resurgence of HBO war due to Masters of the Air, I figured y'all might like my phone wallpaper for the past year or so:

There's really not too much of my own work in this. I just took the original color picture of these easy company fellas...

...and extended the color. I also added some misty clouds/mountain peaks to make it a little bit nicer. Maybe if I wanted to be extra fancy, I could find that exact view of the Alps, but yknow.

Feel free to use! I had this for about a year and a half and haven't changed it, so it must be pretty alright haha

In the 1890's, the American ethnographer James Mooney traveled to the land of the Comanches to gain an understanding of the Comanche Peyote Ceremony. He eventually saw the ritual as a fountain of honesty and of true spiritual inspiration. Mooney soon began to see the medicinal value of the peyote to tribal people as well. In the encounter with well-known peyote men, Mooney realized that the Comanches were one of the early users of peyote within the teepee ceremony. As he was welcomed into the Comanche peyote meeting, he observed the gathering very closely. For the meeting, the famed Comanche Chief Quanah Parker who was the main protector of the ceremony had the elder Red Sun command the all-night meeting of fellowship. Of the respected old great warrior Red Sun who was also known as Puiwat (Without Eyes), Mooney would later share that Puiwat "was blind and very feeble" yet "when it came to his turn to sing the midnight song, he took the rattle and sang as vigorously as any of the others." After the meeting was over, the Comanche participants posed for a group picture beside their teepee for James Mooney. They were shown posed in front of Quanah Mountain. In his later report at the Smithsonian, Mooney shared that the peyote was not to be feared. It allowed him to pursue a commitment to help preserve tribal ways.

This famous black-and-white photograph taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt captures the euphoric moment in Times Square, New York City, on August 14, 1945, when Japan announced its surrender, ending World War II. The photograph shows a U.S. Navy sailor passionately kissing a young woman in a white dress, symbolizing the relief and joy felt by Americans at the war's end.

"That photo of the suspected shooter probably isn't of the actual shooter so it's ok to spread it around"

An American astronomer Edwin Hubble, who made his great discoveries on the best telescope in the world at that time - the 100-inch telescope on Mount Wilson in southern California. Today his name carried by the best telescope we have, not on Earth, but a satellite observatory orbiting our planet. The Hubble Space Telescope is continuing the work begun by Hubble himself to map our Universe, and producing the most remarkable images of distant galaxies ever seen, many of which are available via the World Wide Web.
