They have, among other things, a photo of the Old Man superimposed on a photo of what remains.
It's an interesting site for other reasons. I have it bookmarked and check it from time to time, since they have a camera that takes pictures every 10 minutes or so, during the day.

There are many wonderful and natural things to enjoy and explore in the White Mountains and in New England; the craggy rock at Franconia was not one of them.
I hope the wretched voters of New Hampshire have to pay to repaint all of their road signs.

Oh, please. You had to have an extremely rich imagination to actually see a man's profile out of this dumb rock, and the formation had already had more face lifts than Joan Rivers.
