When I saw this scene shortly before sunset it looked like mist. I knew it couldn't be, it's light filtering through the foliage and the nature of the sandy terrain that creates the effect which is emphasised by a bit of lens flare and the 3 exposure blend required to deal with the contrast.

WEEK 11 – Cordova Super Target Closing, Set V
Back to the service departments we go, for our first shot (in this stour, at least, if not the album as a whole!) of the deli counter. While the word “deli” does get first billing in the string of words that get to act as the décor for this department, it’s worth noting that it is no bigger (or smaller) than those other words, which in effect places “salad,” “chicken,” “cheese,” and “sandwiches” on the same level of importance. In so doing, I suppose you could say this Target managed to place an emphasis on those hot food offerings before some other stores.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)

This was taken with a 35 mm film camera to show the variety of homes in the town, from the newish, well-kept one on the left to deteriorating one, second from the right.
The curved sidewalk, on the left, surrounded the Praça da Bandeira in the town of N.S. da Glória, Sergipe (Brazil.)
There were about 700 households when I lived there. The town had a branch of the Banco do Brasil, some family-owned small shops and bars, an elementary school, a high school (that had only been established 3 years before I arrived), and an under-equipped medical center where a visiting doctor saw patients one morning each week.
This town is now a modern city & much larger, with lots of banks, shops, businesses, industries, a hospital, a colégio, and a cell tower. Some (maybe all) of the buildings in this image are gone and the street continues straight ahead where they were.
I think the reason I love this image is that it shows all the different types of homes one could find when I lived there (1967-69.) In the center is an average home, which is what most of the homes in town resembled including the one I lived in. To the right is one in terrible condition, but was still occupied by a family.
To the left of center is the Bar Esporte (Sports Bar.) Besides cerveja (beer) and cachaça (rum made from sugarcane) bars usually sold coffee and some simple food and may have carried other small items like flashlights, batteries, combs, etc. Although I occasionally visited a bar in town with friends, I was never in this one. The only reason for not visiting this one is that my Brazilian friends never went there.
On the far left is the mayor's home. I believe he had a large fazenda (farm/ranch) outside of town, so he was probably rather wealthy, but it is also possible that public funds may have made their way into his home renovations. It was the nicest home in town. Yet, like all other homes in town, there was no running water nor a sewage system and electricity was available for only 4 hours each evening from 6-10 pm. During Carnaval and occasionally for other special events, the town's generator (known to one and all as "The Machine") ran until midnight.
One of the first things I saw when I arrived in town were two men sitting in the middle of the street with tools and buckets. They were clearing weeds from between the cobblestones. They began at one end of town and when they finished they started over. One of my favorite Portuguese words is the word for cobblestone: "paralelapípedo." It is possible that with the added traffic for the current much larger city, the weeds aren't as likely to grow. Most roads are now paved with concrete or asphalt. When I lived there, I am guessing that there were perhaps a total of 8-10 cars in the city, plus a few trucks to haul goods from the capital. Today, there are hundreds of cars and even more motorcycles.

Note the curved curb of the plaza on the left that is still there and the cell tower. These interior areas of Brazil often did not have phone service until cell phones were available. It was less costly to erect cell towers here and there than to run phone lines in remote areas for thousands of miles.
I've been terribly negligent with my Flickr account, so I'm finally getting caught up on uploading some of my favorites from the last year+!

The above image is a scan from an original Kodachrome™ slide. The default size is 2000 x 1250 pixels, so clicking on the photo will enlarge it for better viewing.
The original image comes from my slide collection, amassed over the past 40+ years. They are a combination of my own photographs and ones acquired over those years.
I created this Photostream in 2017 for the purpose of holding my slide collection as an archive, as otherwise they would just remain in binders and boxes, not being enjoyed by anyone, myself included.
Comments are welcome.
