Sky, Sea, Bloke, Sand, Log

 

The only remotely interesting thing about this slide is that the bloke's name is Gaylord.

Maybe.

Bonus - 

A Day That Would Live In Infamy

 

The slide displays the waterfront of Honolulu, Hawaii, as seen from Pearl Harbor, with the distinctive white structure of the USS Arizona Memorial visible in the foreground. 

The memorial marks the resting place of 1,102 of the 1,177 sailors and Marines killed on the USS Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. (Yes, 84 years ago, yesterday) The attack led to the United States' involvement in World War II. 

Bonus - Whereas, 39 years ago today, I started by current full-time job. Woo.

Bonus 2 - Most English Headline ever?

How Rare !

Mrs Dorothy McSpleen illustrating the unique "Sloping Horizon" off the coast of Clacton.

The Phenomenon appeared in 1827, apparently after the local minister The Very Rev Cuthbert FitzHugh was found in a...compromising position...in the vestry with the verger.  On his funeral pyre, Cuthbert cursed Clacton's Haddock Fishing Boats  with an uphill final stretch to get to the harbour.

The slope was being reduced using money from the European Union, bit ... well,   Brexit Bonus.

Bonus.
 

Saturday at the Beach

 

Today, in an odd spare half hour, I scanned in another bunch of slides. Crazy, I know.

They were from a box, date stamped as 2009...yikes... but these ones had very limited info, but were the classic vintage cardboard Kodachrome slides. What little was written on them dated the slides to 949-1952.

And this was one of them.  No info, sorry, but I'm guessing USA.

Bonus - 

Before the Riff-Raff arrived...

 

Written on this slide was "Between Lavandou and Canabel-1965"

I'm not going to spend hours tracking down the exact location, but I suspect this might be the location 

Bonus - 

Not So Golden Gate Bridge

 

Yes, this is a companion piece to this previously posted slide.

Probably the result of sever under-exposure, but I do like this image of The Golden Gate Bridge..

Bonus Crouching Tiger...

A quiet beach...

 

I didn't know what to post today, but randomly perusing the slide box, this one popped up.

And I thought "Today's the anniversary of D-Day." 81  years since Operation Overlord.

I've no idea where the slide depicts, and it's 99% certain it's not Normandy.  But it seemed appropriate.

Bonus - 

The Power of the Sea.

 

I was going to entitle this American Sea Power.... but that might have attracted the US Navy nutters.

Bonus - Yes, more

Decisions

Explained

Bonus 2 -

Heading for Trouble

 

A sailor navigates a potentially tricky course.

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. 

Finally....The Rock Has Come To... Slide Guy

 

Regular readers should know not to expect a 35mm Slide Image of Rock "The Dwayne" Johnson. Especially on a Tedious Tuesday.

Other folks...lured here on a misleading label.... sorry. This is just a dull 35mm slide of a rock. Possibly igneous in nature. Maybe this one in Cornwall. 

Bonus - ‘An unusual find’: 66m-year-old animal vomit discovered in Denmark

Boat

 Boat, yacht, ship, schooner.

Bonus - 

It's Scuba Monday

 I'm having a day off from work, and who knows, I might head off for a bit of Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus fun later.

Bonus - The Revillos. The only band who could make The B-52s seem like a DeathMetal band.

Cigarette and Seaweed

 

Perfect pairing for a trip to the seaside.

I dislike them both.

Actually seaweed is OK, but the smell of rotting seaweed. Urgh.

Bonus - 

Friday

I'm Leaving, on a Hydrofoil

Don't know when I'll...etc

Closer examination shows the name Palm Beach, but I don't think we're talking America.

Nope, this is the Aussie one. As discussed here

Bonus - 

Swimming in the Deep Blue

 

Looks nice, wherever it is.

Bonus - French chewing gum ads from 1999 with the Statue of Liberty

NOT The Little Mermaid

 

Doesn't look like Copenhagen, and she's definitely not nude.

I'm Guessing Thasos, and Monopetri

Bonus - The Return of Ceefax

Cruising with Lucy and Judy

 

Rescued from their marooning on a Pacific desert island, Lucy and Judy seem none the worse for wear.

Bonus - ‘Frozen Finger’ in Treatment of Anal Fissures. Yes, Improbable Research.

It's Tuesday, and You Know What That Means...

 

Tedium.

I suppose I should appreciate that the photographer actually managed to get the horizon horizontal, but ... 

Pretty but Dull.

Bonus - Ah, Derby

Furious Pensioner.

Bonus 2 - Cyanide and Happiness, bringing me joy.

Emptying The Ocean

 

...one bucket at a time.

Another sunny summer day here in Slideville, so It's appreciate a few hours lazing on a beach.

Bonus - Proposed (and rejected) addition for vehicle access to Eiffel Tower 1939.
