A Timeless Scene

 

This slide was dated April 1984, but it could really be for anytime in the past 100 years. A snowy lane, a dramatic sky, and a simple composition. Classic.

The Grey Skies of Easter

 

So, that's it.

Easter 2023 is past.

Patches of sunshine, ending with grey clouds, hailstorms, thunder and chilly winds.

Must be a metaphor for life.

Bonus - Preserving the Sunset Editorial Sound Effects Library from the USC Archive. (With the original recording of The Wilhelm Scream.)

The Dolph Hotel


Most folk assume that this is a 1970's slide of the Dolphin Hotel in Southampton, and most folk are almost right.

This is actually The Dolph Hotel, which was named in 1767 for the yet-to-be-born actor Dolph Lundgren. As your'll see from the comparable view from Google, things don't change much in Southampton

Interesting, no?



Bonus 1 - Rock Climbing Ping Pong

Bonus 2 : For most of today, this was the top story on the Derby Telegraph webshite.

( Not in Kansas Anymore )



My first instinct is The Netherlands, but on second thoughts...it could be New Mexico.

Nah.

Netherlands.
