Join us for a nostalgic trip today. Surely, this blog Editor wasn’t the only one who had a bookshelf at home with his parents as a youngster filled with the vibrant yellow of the National Geographic Magazine. Many weekend days spent pouring through them, no matter how outdated and wondering about the world at large. I have my parents to thank for that.
Now however, with any luck all those beautiful magazines probably comprise the recycled coffee cup you bought this morning. Luckily for everyone however, is that we found NatGeoFound. The delicious Tumblr site devoted to sourcing and publishing photographs which graced the pages of National Geographic since its inception.
Scouring its collection the same warm feelings about our world at large return. Here are a few of our favourites.
