In praise of Google Image Search

[tamaranth]

Via bearestronaut, I found this post and was fascinated by the photo beneath the cut.


No caption or anything ... but typing 'four girls dragon beach' into google, and using the 'more images like this one' option, led me to the University of South California's digital library entry for the picture, which gives me date (~1940), location (California, who'd've thunk?) and stresses that it's a fake dragon. Phew!

Also via Google Image Search, this mildly-NSFW blog post collecting beach/sea-related photographs.
