Bit late but I am reminded of this picture, which I think happened on the same visit.
Basically the US wanted to show off how advanced they were when it came to electronics and how amazing their capitalist science was so they took him to visit a IBM plant in California. It failed completely, because Khrushchev didn't understand shit about computers and electronics so he just nodded along while they were presenting the transistors and shit. He was, however, VERY impressed by the cafeteria with self service and how the Americans ran the whole thing. It was completely alien to how it was done in the USSR, and in fact he was baffled at how the capitalists had somehow come up with a more "class conscious and socialist" system than they had. From his memoirs:
The management and the employees both ate their in the lunchroom. Like everyone else, we picked up our utensils and went to the window where they give out the meals, they put our food on our plates, and we went back to whatever table we chose, and once we had eaten that dish we could repeat the procedure and get another dish. It was a democratic arrangement. I think the management was deliberately trying to make a demonstration of democracy, and I admit that I liked it very much. In my speeches later on [back in the USSR] I promoted and encouraged this kind of food service for our factories: there was nothing superfluous anywhere in the operation. The surface of the tables in the lunchroom was plastic. All you had to do was wipe it with a damp cloth and the table was clean.
I was informed that the director of the factory also ate in that lunchroom. Unfortunately, in our country at many factories there are separate lunchrooms for the management and for the workers. A huge staff of service personnel has to be kept up. The service is no better for all that; actually, it’s worse. There are long waiting lines constantly, and the workers mutter their dissatisfaction against the way the lunch break is organized. That’s why I recommended to the leaders of our party and trade-union organizations that they adopt this American system.

Picture my Grandpa, an air force radioman, took of the construction of Thule Air Base in Greenland. Construction of the air base was apparently an enormous effort (comparable to the construction of the Panama Canal if wikipedo is to be believed).
There's some more I might post later, minus the pictures that feature his or his air force buddies' faces of course.
Cave on the Isle of Patmos in Greece (Orthodox things here in the following centuries after the Roman Era), the island where the Apostle John wrote the Book of Revelation:
The 2007 Elie F5 tornado, one of the last F5 tornadoes that did not injure or kill anybody. Probably one of my favorite pictures.
And the aftermath of the Greensburg EF5 tornado which decimated most of a small town.

That aftermath image reminds me of one that ruined a city in my state. It hit the same town four times in one day. I haven't found a story about it, unfortunately. But I remember it being in the news.
1493 depiction of Hatto II, Bishop of Mainz, Germany (died AD 970).
According to the legend of the "Mouse Tower", Hatto was a cruel and greedy ruler who hoarded food and killed starving peasants, and was devoured by mice as divine punishment.
