<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5399" src="https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Flying-baby-photography-California-1995-.jpg" alt="Flying baby photography, California, 1995" width="443" height="640" srcset="https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Flying-baby-photography-California-1995-.jpg 443w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Flying-baby-photography-California-1995--208x300.jpg 208w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Flying-baby-photography-California-1995--360x520.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px" />Stay cool, the Flying baby is safe and sound; now she is about 30 years old.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It&#8217;s amazing how some photos become a part of pop culture. We cannot say that the Flying baby photo was taken by accident. But it wasn’t a serious staged photoshoot too, just like the <a href="https://oldpics.net/tennis-girl-the-story-behind-the-iconic-poster-photo-1976/">picture &#8220;Tennis Girl,&#8221;, 1976</a>. Or the <a href="https://oldpics.net/10-most-expensive-photographs-in-history/">‘Cowboy’ photo</a> became one of the most expensive pictures in the world and hit the <a href="https://oldpics.net/100-most-important-pictures-in-history/">Top 100 most important in history.</a></span></p>
<h3>How was the Flying baby photo possible?</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nowadays, when we overcare our children, the Flying baby photo looks even more amazing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But in 1991, everything was possible. Apparently, Sherri and Jeff Leeds were not shocked when photographer Gregg Epperson asked them to participate in the special photoshoot. It happened in Joshua Tree National Park in California.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Epperson wanted the parents, standing on two large stones, to throw the child from hand to hand.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And the parents enthusiastically agreed. Mr. and Mrs. Leeds is not one of those couples who sit with babies at home. On the contrary, they went with little Jordan (this is the Flying baby) on hikes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Epperson snapped the photo and kept it in archives for four years until it was sold to the hiking apparel company Patagonia&#8217;s spring catalog. That’s how Flying baby photography became famous in 1995.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_5400" style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5400" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-5400" src="https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Jordan-a-Flying-baby.jpg" alt="Jordan, a Flying baby" width="640" height="426" srcset="https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Jordan-a-Flying-baby.jpg 640w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Jordan-a-Flying-baby-300x200.jpg 300w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Jordan-a-Flying-baby-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><p id="caption-attachment-5400" class="wp-caption-text">Jordan wants to take another Flying photo with her child.</p></div>
<h3>Let&#8217;s fly again!</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, Jordan grew up; now, she is about 30 years old. She stated that she was not offended by her parents to put her in danger as a child.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the contrary, Jordan plans to take the same picture with her child. &#8220;I will hang my photo on the wall in the hallway, and next I will hang a photo with my child &#8230; I think it will be cool.&#8221;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We publish some <a href="https://oldpics.net/nudists-on-the-beach-of-soviet-moscow-1920s/">interesting pictures of Russia</a> from time to time, and this publication covers the 1990s. As usual, Oldpics selected some noteworthy photos of Russia made by a foreigner, French photographer Jean-Paul Guillotho. It’s important to observe the Russian lifestyle through the non-local lens, as it catches some unique details that only non-soviet people notice.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jean-Paul Guillotho traveled to Russia several times, from 1991 to 1996. Russia definitely said bye-bye to the Soviet Union in the 1990s, but some of these pictures stilled the transition moment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Check out our photo selection of <a href="https://oldpics.net/vintage-pictures-of-the-soviet-moscow-of-the-1950s/">Moscow photography of the 1950s</a> and some <a href="https://oldpics.net/pictures-of-soviet-moscow-by-a-british-tourist/">pictures from the late 1980s</a>. Both photos sets are made by foreigners too.</span></p>

<p> </p>
<p>This picture of this tunnel construction resembles shots from the &#8220;The Shawshank Redemption&#8221; movie. Nowadays, this photo seems to be an ironic one. Britain invested so much to be closer to European Union (literally closer) in the 90s, but it all ended up with Brexit. The good news is the Eurotunnel still connects the UK and Europe. </p>
<p> </p>
<h3>The history of Eurotunnel construction</h3>
<p>The Eurotunnel construction was incredibly sluggish, slow, and painful. There were several epic failures in 1973. The idea of building a channel was on hold for more than a decade. The current project received funding only in 1987.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The construction process was well covered by newspapers, magazines, and TV channels. Everyone was curious when it would end and whether everything would work out. As you can see from the picture, it worked! The drillers from France and England did not miss and met at one point at a depth of 40 meters below the bottom of the strait.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The operation of the Eurotunnel began in May 1994.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This photo of Santa Claus in Croatia during its War of Independence may be the most bizarre and saddest Santa’s image ever made. While everyone knows that the wars stopped during the Olympics, the same rule should be applied to Christmas too.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This Santa Claus is an actual combatant who fought for the independence of Croatia. While he holds a real rifle in one hand, the other hand carries a sack with toys. Santa’s simple escorting kids to a safer place to present his gifts. Photographer captured this Christmas scene in 1992 when the first stage of the war in Croatia was over.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Overall, the Croatian War of Independence lasted from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatian_War_of_Independence">1991 to 1995</a>, with a cease-fire signed in 1992. Croatia blasted two major offensive operations in 1995, reclaimed all ethnically Croatian lands, and forced Serbia to recognize its independence.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While publishing this sad but valuable historical photo on Oldpics.net, we’d like to see<a href="https://oldpics.net/?s=santa+"> Santa in much more positive</a> life circumstances.</span></p>
