A Month’s-End Associated Press (AP) Photographic Celebration Of: END
For one final installment, Hmm Daily presents a photo feature created specifically because we hate to let any of our unused allotment of 30 Associated Press photos per month go to waste. What with all the confusion, we missed the deadline to download our June balance of images and so we paid for one more month of photos, and so, to finish ourselves off, we present images collected in the theme of END.
GERMANY WORLD WAR BOMB – A big crater is pictured on a corn field after a bomb from the World War exploded in Halbach, Germany, Monday, June 24, 2019. The bomb must have stayed under the corn field since the World War until the chemical detonator reacted in the end. No one was injured.

The farm, in an old warehouse, has crops that include basil, arugula and microgreens, sold at grocery stores in Chicago and its suburbs. Officials at FarmedHere plan to expand growing space to a massive 150,000 square feet by the end of next year. It is currently has about 20 percent of that growing space now.

The fledgling plant, which converts the nuisance fish harvested from the Mississippi and Illinois rivers into everything from animal feed to fish oil, joins a growing number of U.S. ventures hoping to profit by ridding the nation’s biggest waterways of the species now threatening the Great Lakes. (AP Photo/Jim Suhr)OSCARS-IMPOSSIBLE DREAM – In this Feb. 4, 1974 file photo, a streaker appears on stage surprising David Niven, right, who isn’t quite sure what’s happening behind him, as the man later identified as Robert Opel, unexpectedly crosses the stage near the end of the Academy Awards show in Los Angeles. What are TV viewers seeking from their annual Oscar fix? The same thing they want from movies: drama, comedy, sex, slapstick, glamour and romance. This year’s Oscarcast airs Sunday, Feb. 22, 2015, at 8 p.m. EST on ABC. (AP Photo, File)DEM 2016 BIDEN THE ROAD ENDS – In this Feb. 20, 1978, file photo, President Jimmy Carter listens to Sen. Joseph R. Biden, D-Del., as they wait to speak at fund raising reception at Padua Academy in Wilmington, Del. Biden’s storied political career will end much the way it started nearly half a century ago: shaped by crushing personal tragedy that shook his confidence in his own ability to lead. In deciding not to run for president, Biden has turned away from months of preparations and countless hours that had put him on the verge of a third presidential campaign. (AP Photo/Barry Thumma, File)JFK’S IMAGES – In this Sept. 26, 1960 file photo, moderator Howard K. Smith sits between, Sen. John Kennedy, left, and Vice President Richard Nixon as they appear on television studio monitor set during their debate in Chicago. The Kennedy image, the “mystique” that attracts tourists and historians alike, did not begin with his presidency and is in no danger of ending 50 years after his death. The multimedia story began in childhood with newsreels and newspaper coverage of the smiling Kennedy brood, and it continued with books, photographs, movies and finally television, notably the telegenic JFK’s presidential debates with Nixon. (AP Photo)RAMS DRYER – Los Angeles Rams defensive end Fred Dryer casts a baleful look from the doorway of his Volkswagen camper can, wearing a hat left over from New Year’s Eve, following a rams workout at their Anaheim Calif., training facility, Jan. 16, 1980. The Rams are preparing for their Super Bowl game against the Pittsburgh Steelers next Sunday. (AP Photo/Reed Saxon)US OIL EXPORTS – In this Dec. 23, 1973, file photo, cars line up in two directions at a gas station in New York City. Of all the bad memories seared into the American consciousness from the early 1970s, the never-ending lines at the gas pump has to top the list. The U.S., seemingly awash in crude oil after an energy boom sent thousands of workers scurrying to the plains of Texas and North Dakota, will begin exporting oil for the first time since the 1973 oil embargo. (AP Photo/Marty Lederhandler, File)VOLKSWAGEN AUTO ROGUES GALLERY – In this Sept. 1, 1978 file photo, Patty Ramge poses with her 1975 Ford Pinto that bears a sign warning fellow motorists to keep their distance, in Detroit. Ramge posted the warning after weeks of trying to convince Ford Motor Co., and its dealers to modify the Pinto’s fuel tank so it would not pose a fire hazard in a rear-end crash. At least 27 people died during the 1970s due to the faulty position of fuel tanks in the Ford Pinto. (AP Photo/JCH, File)TIM DAHLBERG BOXING – In this Oct. 1, 1975, file photo, heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali connects with a right to challenger Joe Frazier in the ninth round of their title fight in Manila, Philippines. It was, Muhammad Ali would later say, the closest thing to death he had ever known. He and Joe Frazier had gone 14 brutal rounds in stifling heat off a Philippines morning before Frazier’s trainer Eddie Futch mercifully signaled things to an end, his fighter blind and battered and feeling pretty close to death himself. It was 40 years ago and the “Thrilla in Manilla’’ still lives in sporting lore.(AP Photo/Mitsunori Chigita, File)VIETNAM 35TH ANNIVERSARY – In this 1966 file photo, U.S. Army helicopters providing support for U.S. ground troops fly into a staging area fifty miles northeast of Saigon, Vietnam. The war ended on April 30, 1975, with the fall of Saigon, now known as Ho Chi Minh City, to communist troops from the north. (AP Photo/Henri Huet, File)GM HEARTBEAT OF AMERICA – This file photo circa 1958 shows a Cadillac Eldorado, standing outside of New York’s Tavern on the Green restaurant in Central Park. General Motors survived wars, strikes and the Great Depression churning out Chevys, Cadillacs and other vehicles that often defined their owners’ status in life. But less than a year into its second 100 years, it’s coming to the end of a road, ushered by the government into bankruptcy protection. (AP Photo/File)NUCLEAR DEPARTURE – The Seneca Army Depot in Romulus, N.Y., was the scene of several large anti-nuclear weapons protests, as is shown in 1983. At the height of protests here, more than 900 people were arrested in 1983 alone. Two years later, weaponry experts confirmed decades-old suspicions that nuclear missiles were stored at the depot, located between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes, north of Ithaca, N.Y. Formal ceremonies Thursday, July 20, 2000, will mark the official end for the base. (AP Photo/Michael Okoniewski)OLYMPIC BOYCOTT 1980 – May Day marchers in Red Square, Moscow, carry a placard displaying the words “An end to imperialistic meddling in Afghanistan”. May. 1, 1980. (AP Photo)ROCKET SCIENCE – In this April 11, 1970 file photo, the Saturn rocket carrying the Apollo 13 spacecraft lifts off the launch pad at Cape Kennedy, Fla. It really is rocket science and it really is hard. North Korea proved that again. The giant explosion that gets a rocket off the ground isn’t that complicated. Controlling that reaction and going where you want, when you want – that’s where engineers earn their money and ulcers. And it’s where past rockets and spaceships have ended in spectacular and sometimes deadly failures. Former NASA deputy administrator Hans Mark said most failures are from human error. He pointed to a dropped oxygen tank that caused the near-fatal Apollo 13 explosion. (AP Photo)NIXONS WATERGATE TESTIMONY – In this Feb. 12, 1969, file photo U.S. President Richard Nixon turns to leave after placing a wreath at the statue of Abraham Lincoln on the birthday of the Civil War president. The National Archives on Thursday, Nov. 10, 2011, released a batch of Nixon-era records that include audio of the former president’s musings about an odd episode from 1970, when he paid a late-night visit to the Lincoln Memorial to meet with Vietnam era anti-war protesters. He says he told the students that ending the war and stopping pollution won’t end “the spiritual hunger which all of us have.” That, he said, is the “great mystery of life from the beginning of time.” (AP Photo/File)A CORONER BENDS OVER THE SLAIN BODY OF BENJAMIN “BUGSY” SIEGEL AFTER IT IS PLACED ON A STRETCHER ON THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR OF BUGSY’S BEVERLY HILLS HOME ON JAN. 21, 1947. THE 41-YEAR-OLD GAMBLER WAS SITTING ON THE SOFA WHEN AN UNIDENTIFIED GUNMAN PUMPED A VOLLEY OF BULLETS IN HIS BODY THROUGH THE WINDOW IN THE BACKGROUND – Things didn’t end glamorously for the handsome Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel: in this photo a coroner looks over the celebrity gangster’s body after he was shot in his Beverly Hills home on Jan. 21, 1947. In what may have been the most noirish week in Los Angeles history — and a historic time for nicknames, as well — “Bugsy” died within days of Elizabeth “Black Dahlia” Short. (AP Photo)WILLIAM HATFIELD – William Anderson “Devil Anse” Hatfield is shown in this 1910 photograph, taken 21 years after the feud with the McCoys ended. The feud started over a dispute of ownership of two razor-backed hogs and later escalted with Hatfield’s interest in Rose Anna McCoy, Ole Ran’l McCoy’s daughter. (AP Photo)DEU VOLKSWAGEN KAEFER – 30 years ago, the beetle era ended in West Germany on January 19, 1978, when here last of insect-shaped Volkswagen cars rolled off an assembly line. Workers of the Volkswagen factory are stroking the last one during the farewell party in Emden. (AP Photo/Heinz Ducklau) ** B/W ONLY ** zu unserem Korr **BASEBALL ON SPEED – Boston Red Sox pitcher Bill Lee delivers a pitch in third inning of first game of double header at New York’s Shea Stadium in this July 27, 1975. Baseball continued to ignore amphetamines in 1984 when former Boston pitcher Bill Lee wrote about players popping greenies in “The Wrong Stuff.” Now, commissioner Bud Selig last month proposed stiffer penalties for steroid offenders and called for testing for amphetamines because “we need to put an end to all whispers. (AP Photo/Ray Stubblebine)LEONOV SPACEWALK – Third photo of a three-picture sequence showing Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov as the first man to venture outside a space ship in outer space, March 18, 1965. Here he turns a somersault at the end of the tether connecting him to the orbiting Voshkod 2. Projection at right is movie camera to record his maneuvers. Photos are from Moscow TV screen during showing of what Soviet officials said were TV pictures transmitted March 18 from the space ship. (AP Photo/Tass)ANDREA DORIA – The Captain and crewmen, who stayed with him until almost the end, head for rescue ship in lifeboats July 26, 1956, from the Italian Luxury Liner Andrea Doria. The vessel sank after collision with the Swedish liner Stockholm in the Atlantic off Massachussetts. Nearly all of the Andrea Doria’s passengers and crew were rescued. Captain of the sunken liner was Piero Calamai. (AP-PHOTO)
