Again, I'm clueless.
The Slide markings said "1965 William E Baskett", but Googling that didn't turn up anything obvious.
Bonus - Germany, apparently
Being a construction of your humble blogger Tepid Halibut, with the aim of posting one vintage slide image per day, from now until Kingdom Come. (Or until Mr Halibut gets bored.)

I'm 96.1% certain that it's not even the UK. Canada perhaps?
Bonus:
Just a nice image today. The slide is dated January 1959, but other than that ... Nada. So, just enjoy the image.

Sometimes, I just appreciate a slide for what it is ... a captured memory of a distant time.
This one is from the Beryl Blood collection, in a box marked as "Blackpool". This is not Blackpool.
It's marked as "Jun-1964 Part of Harbour Bandol", so South of France. Before the Jet Set really got their claws into it.
Bonus -
Fundraising for the St Mark's Parish Church in Alrewas is a serious subject, but the annual Vicars and Vamps party is the community highlight for many.
Rev Kevin Flattley ("The Rev Kev") really does make an effort, and is unrecognisable as Doreen "Bury me in a Y-Shaped Coffin" Bradley.
Bonus - Magnetic Cows

Curious. This box had a series of Slide Mounts, each with a 35mm Black and White negative mounted in them. How rare. The seller claimed that they dated from 1937...and that might be reasonable.
This image had no description, but appears to be a floating dry-dock, so... COULD be the USS ARD-1. Or maybe something else.
