Buffalo Bill

Saturday, Jun 15 2013 by kjfitz:
William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody (February 26, 1846 – January 10, 1917) was an American soldier, bison hunter and showman. He was born in the Iowa Territory (now the U.S. state of Iowa), in Le Claire but lived several years in Canada before his family moved to the Kansas Territory. Buffalo Bill received the Medal of Honor in 1872 for service to the US Army as a scout. One of the most colorful figures of the American Old West, Buffalo Bill became famous for the shows he organized with cowboy themes, which he toured in Great Britain and Europe as well as the United States.

Photo Safari #102 - Comic Book Characters

Thursday, Jun 6 2013 by kjfitz:
This week your mission is to seek out good thumbnails of comic book characters and super heroes. Now I know we've got a bunch of comic book shops in the. That could lead to a flood of poor quality, low res, over zoomed, thumbnails of comic book covers. So I'm going to rule out actual comic books. Posters, murals, ads, action figures, cardboard cutouts, etc. are fine but the thumbnail must be a very clear image of the character.

Post your finds to Street View - Safari Submission and another appropriate category for credit. Please include a Wikipedia More Info link. The Safari will end at 0700 UTC, Wednesday, June 12.

Good luck and happy hunting!

Here are a few examples:
