1904 - A tourist's camp in the Bad Lands, Wyoming, U.S.A.
Because I’m limited to my slower laptop right now, I chose this pic. It stands out pretty well on its own without a great animation. The people look like they’re enjoying themselves. Their idea of camping doesn’t seem too much like roughing it, like I would have guessed. The photo was a bit blurry, had difficult contrast and splotchy faded areas that make the transition between images flashy. In this case, I think the smaller version might actually be better, with the flaws not quite so prominent.
