Go on, have a guess of where and when.

Nice Building

We've not had many slides from Paraguay.

Bonus - 

Martha, outside the Summer Cottage

 

Martha is the daughter of the fabulously rich merchant banker Charles Heatherington-Whipple, and is pictured posing outside her family's modest retreat in The Hamptons. The family are so rich that they've purchased the cleansing of the internet, so you won't find any information on Google about Charles, Martha, or their drug-fueled Summer expeditions to Greenland..

It must be nice to be that rich.

Bonus 2 - Your nipples are older than your teeth.

Bolivar Libertador

 

Tedious Tuesday has arrived again, and we have another Tedious yet Strangely Interesting slide.

This is from the Travels around South America with someone who writes a lot on the slide mounts collection. On this one - "A memorial to Simon Bolivar, the great liberator on a  mountain top overlooking the city of Caracas, Venezuela".

I wonder if it's still there...
