In 1883, William Cody, a.k.a. "Buffalo Bill" sought to cash in on his fame that had been building in the West, and so he created a traveling show called Buffalo Bill's Wild West. The show included sharpshooting acts, horse riding demonstrations, and reenactments of various battles and events in the history of the American west. Some of his hired performers were Native Americans, many of them Sioux who had fought in the Great Sioux War of 1876 and the Battle of the Little Big Horn.
The show experienced almost immediate success and toured annually across the U.S. and in Europe, even performing for Queen Victoria and the Pope himself! In 1898, New York based photographer Gertrude Kasebier spotted the troupe parading past her 5th avenue studio, and she immediately ran out to see if she could bring the Sioux men and their wives in to her studio. The result is this amazing collection of photos that shows the faces of a culture and people that has largely been lost.

Las setas pueden ser de crecimiento rápido organismos, pero eso no quiere decir que nos podemos sentar y su verlas crecer con nuestros propios ojos - que tomaría mucho tiempo, pero cuando son filmados y las imágenes se aceleraron luego se puede ver exactamente cómo pequeños hongos crecen desde el más pequeño de los organismos en algo bastante sorprendente. Estos archivos GIF con lapso de tiempo muestran que estallan desde el suelo y, finalmente, se expanden en la forma tradicional de hongo que todos conocemos. Lo creas o no setas en realidad están clasificados como una fruta y consisten en 92% de agua que explica por qué se expanden y crecen tan rápidamente. Echa un vistazo a los archivos GIF a continuación, que son bastante increíble.
