Ruins of Equitable Life Assurance Society building in New York City, Jan 11, 1912, by Irving Underhill.  The building, originally at Broadway & Cedar St. in NYC burned, leaving nothing but the facade, covered in ice from the firetrucks.

A more recent shot, this from the summit of Brocken, the highest peak of the Harz range in Germany.  To the left side is the 53M tower, home to the oldest TV transmitter, and the right is a spruce tree that caught windblown snow.
