Not Quite ManhattanHenge

 

Whether by luck or judgement, this photographer has achieved an "against the light" image that is faintly similar to the shots of Manhattanhenge.

Similar, but not the same.

The sign on the wall says Rose Avril, which suggest that this might be in Belgium.

Bonus

What can I say?

V.E. Day + 75 - Let's Party

So today is the May Day Bank Holiday / VE Day 75th Anniversary Celebration.

OK, this slide is a repost, but it seemed appropriate.  More info

Antoine Sopers 1824-82 Young Neopolitan Brussels

Art.

In Belgium.


Yeah.

Bonus - This Veteran’s memorial in Arizona lines up holes in the monoliths of the 5 services exactly at 11:11 on 11/11 only to illuminate the Great Seal of America.

Young Neapolitan

As I mentioned yesterday, I've been scanning a load of dull but worthy slides.  And unlike most slides, the photographer has included some relevant info on the mounts.

For Example "Antoine Sopers 1824-82 Young Neapolitan Brussels"

It checks out. However, one of use has his picture reversed Left-to-Right.

Bonus - The title of the sculpture did make me think of the delightful Samantha. "Samantha has to go now as she's off to meet her Italian gentleman friend who's taking her out for an ice cream. She says she likes nothing better than to spend the evening licking the nuts off a large Neopolitan".

Bonus 2 -

Ta-Da!!!!!

Ostensibly, a picture of a bar supporting the Walloon-based brewery Bieres Piedboeuf, this slide reveals so much more. From the exhibitionist girl, to the reflection of the tour-bus.

It also confirms my suspicion that many slides are just grabbed shots from inside the bus, rather than from real encounters. You can ever see the reflection of the photographer in the window (just.)

Bonus - Roar !!

Bonus - another great headline Nazi Racoons Invade The UK

Verboden op de Tank te Klimmen

For once, I could tel;l you a lot about this slide. Not just the obvious stuff (it's an M4 "Sherman" tank) but basically a helluva lot. But, rather than plagiarizing, why not just click here.
