No idea what tysto is. but I wanted to warn people that it is not secure.

I just encountered this. I looked for images of “White House Rose Garden” and 90% of I got was images of it getting bulldozed for getting paved over per Trump’s recent command.

So I looked for images from 1980-2010 and 90% of I got was historical stuff NOT from that time range – like yellowed photos of how it looked before Jackie O’ made it the Rose Garden, or pictures of MLK or other random gardens.

There HAVE to be images of the Rose Garden from before Melania ripped out the trees in Trump’s previous term. Where did they go?

The best collection I could find was on this unsecured site: http://tysto.com/grounds/rose-garden.htm

After that, it was, sadly, two dog pics on a Daily Mail article. One with a Bush the other with Regan and Thatcher: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2440219/George-W-Bush-pays-tribute-dead-dog-13th-birthday.html

Most sites only have stuff like this current/bulldozer stuff: https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/politics/a65124864/white-house-rose-garden-paved-photos/

Where did all the other photos go???

Perhaps if my eyes were rotated 90 degrees on my forehead, I’d appreciate vertical images, but since they are situated to binocularly scan a horizon, I’d rather stick with wide formats, thank you. Extremely old movies were square and you could sometimes notice dark corners due to the circular aspect of light that had entered the lens failing to reach the edges of the negative. Films gradually got wider and wider. That’s generally been a good thing, though I think we’ve passed a maximum for easy enjoyment without needing to move your head to track motion on theater screens.

I might back up to 16x9, but I certainly don’t want to see 6x13.
