The Joy of a Balloon

 

...is only bettered by ... TWO BALLOONS!

This slides dates back to July 1964, so balloon dance girl will be quite a decent age by now. 

I hope she retains her joy in the simple things.

Speaking of joy...

Bonus - 

Meanwhile in Copenhagen...

...we have the Tower of St Nicholas church over blue sky, Copenhagen, Denmark. 

Not very interesting, really.

More interesting is the tens of thousands of new Slide Guy Blog Visitors, attracted to this blog by the new "100% Guaranteed Kim Kardashian-Free" mission statement.

Castel Llandegla

 

On this slide, it said "Castel Llandegla, 1977", so I suspect that it is Tomen y Rhodwydd.   

Based upon my extensive knowledge of castles in Powys built by Owain Gwynedd in 1149.

Wait... I think I recognise that!

 

Isn't that on the Chatsworth House estate?

Indeed , it does appear to be.  I've been there a couple of times, but not for a couple of decades. But, it does appear to be here. 

Noice.

Bonus - Surprise!

Hotel Sole

 

The view from my bedroom...

...I wish.  

If you are tempted .... try here

Bonus - For those who missed it Superb Owl Sunday

A Random Rural Scene

 

No idea where this is, but it looks like rural England.

Quite pretty, I suppose.

Bonus - 

Yes, That IS a Spitfire...

 

....but that's that in the foreground?

I think it's an Andover

"No Bicycles"

 

...but what is the hidden message?

The photographer clearly posed this young lady beside that sign....but why?

You don't suppose that there was some implication about being the village bike, do you?

Bonus - 

Beautiful....but tedious.

 

I'm not describing Miss United Kingdom 2020. This slide...clearly a beautiful part of the world, but this image of it.... not very interesting.

Oh.  Blog formatting has gone a bit ... weird.

Bonus - And America goes a bit barking mad. 

At home in a comfy little...

 

Cabin?

Narrowboat?

Gypsy Cabin?

Converted Caboose?

Who knows.

Bonus - 

Geoff and Jennifer

 

Yes, Geoff does have a massive forehead.

Slide info - said "Geoff and Jennifer 4-9-63"

Bonus - 

Where In The World?

 

If you said "Las Vegas, Nevada, USA" ..... Wrong!

If you said "North Yorks County sign, on A1079 nr Kexby, Yorks  Apr 1976", well ... that's what was written on the slide.

Bonus : Meet Achile Chatouilleu, also known as “The French Tickler”, the 107 year old embalmed clown.

The Follow-Up to "Leaving Las Vegas"

 

It's wasn't a success.

"Leaving Grand Teton National Park" featured Nic Cage gurning, and suffering attention deficit disorder. Zero Oscars. Nice cinematography
