T3s or Other Cards with Landmarks Visible

Benjamin Banneker Park environs maybe for the skyline then, which is a little Southeast of the Tidal Basin near the Case Memorial Bridge and has the proper angle.

I'm wondering if one of the other buildings would be part of the Smithsonian now. There's still a couple of old ones in that complex. Probably just fanciful artistry in a way but it's neat the way it was worked in.

Not sure if any landmarks/buildings are identifiable, but here are some 1910 and 1911 Obak cards with non-grandstand 'structures' in the background. I have grouped the players by team...maybe somebody can identify something.

I like the Bodie card with the windmill in the background.

(I'm only seeing three cards and no Bodie/windmill, but that's not why I am responding.) I don't know anything about Washington State landmarks (accept Mount Rainier is shockingly beautiful when it reveals itself), but it is fascinating that the artist(s) created three very similar cards showing three players all playing for the same team, all posing at bat on a green field, but all showing very detailed and different structures in the background. Makes you suspect they are (were) landmarks that would have been recognized by the locals at the time.

When I go in now, I still only see three cards, but they are different than the three I was seeing when I made my previous comments. Still no windmill.

There are four photos, each with 3-4 cards.

For now, I would suggest using a different browser. On my tablet, using the Google browser I see either no photos or one of them. Using either the Dolphin browser or the Samsung browser I see all four photos.

I think the problem stems from Net54's current website troubles. Using the Android version of Google, and the desktop versions of Google and Firefox, I get a security warning. Here is the one from Firefox:

This website might not support the TLS 1.2 protocol, which is the minimum version supported by Firefox. Enabling TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 might allow this connection to succeed.

TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 will be permanently disabled in a future release.

The Google warnings see also to be related to the TLS protocol.
