I haven't watched the show "Jericho," but they're getting a lot of mileage out of the image of the mushroom cloud in the background from their season premier. It's a compelling visual, and one of those things I'd call "primal" if it wasn't less than sixty years old.
Fun fact: The mushroom cloud shape is due to the super-heated center of the explosion rising rapidly due to plain old "warm air rises" physics rather than anything more exotic (usually at between 150-250mph).
But, man.... some of these are just beautiful photographs, despite the content.
