A cowboy by the name of Accord rides the world champion bucking horse "Cyclone" in a rodeo sponsored by the Klamath Falls Elks Lodge in May 1912. The action took place at the new Klamath County Fairgrounds located at the south end of Lake Ewauna. Cyclone was among a railroad car load of wild horses brought in from Pendleton for the event. Local photographer Charles R. Miller captured several fast-action photos of the event. This one shows Hogback Mountain in the background.
Mountain hemlock trees help frame this panoramic image of Crater Lake captured by Medford photographer Burhl Harwood, probably around 1930. Harwood, a native of Iowa, traveled throughout Southern Oregon and Northern California to record scenes in the region. A structure can been seen in Governors Bay on Wizard Island.

Pine logs are displayed in a post card that might have been taken anywhere in the Intermountain West in the early 1900s. This image ended up in a collection gathered by James Floyd of Klamath Falls. He donated the collection to the Klamath County Museum in 1973.

The lobby of the Baldwin Hotel Museum in seen in this post card image. A calendar on one of the pillars in the lobby appears to be for the year 1912. The man sitting in the rocking chair at right may be George T. Baldwin, who had the structure built in 1905 to house his hardware store on the ground floor and office spaces on the upper three floors. The building was converted to a hotel in 1911. George Baldwin died in 1920. Neither the man at the desk nor the woman on the stairs has been identified. While the woman somewhat resembles George Baldwin's daughter, Maud, museum staff does not believe it to be her. Many of the furnishings in this photo can still be found in the lobby of the Baldwin Hotel Museum today.

The heyday of the post card was basically from 1900-1912 or so. This is a “real photo” card, showing a residence. Itinerant photographers would travel from town to town, take photos of homes of prominent citizens (or others who paid them) and sell copies to the owner, who could then send photos of the house to friends, etc. Photographers in various communities, as well, did the same for their locales. What endures from this passion for photographing and sharing images of homes is a wonderful record of the domestic architecture from that time period.
In an obviously rural location, this 2 1/2-story frame home has a basement and an attic; it has a steep gable roof. There are two visible interior chimneys. A tower with a sharp pointed sort-of pyramidal roof dominates the plane of the front façade. The small front porch shows turned posts supporting the porch roof, turned balusters and ornamental brackets. Below the porch is a lattice-enclosed space. Just above the entrance is a small jerkinhead dormer. The side façade provides a food view of fenestration with window width not as prominent as on the tower. A tiny side porch remains faithful to the ornamentation of the front porch.

The dry streambed of Link River is seen exposed in this photo taken during a relatively uncommon phenomenon that occurred under certain conditions before installation of a dam on the river in 1920-21. A prolonged episode of strong southerly winds would create a seiche on Upper Klamath Lake. During such events, the water level at the south end of the lake could drop by several inches, cutting off the flow to Link River. The last time such an event was recorded was in July 1918. The Evening Herald newspaper reported local residents rushed to the river to gather fish stranded in pools of water.
This is a Strathmore post card. I did spray it with some fixative which I hope will protect it from rain and sweaty hands of postal carriers....Sending it to a friend who can report back.

Coney Island 29th Annual Mermaid Parade 2011.
Brooklyn, New York City.
A completely original creation of Coney Island USA, the Mermaid Parade is the nation's largest art parade and one of New York City's greatest summer events. The parade is proud to have some incredible sponsors
Founded in 1983 by Coney Island USA, the not-for-profit arts organization that also produces the Coney island Circus Sideshow, the Mermaid Parade pays homage to Coney Island's forgotten Mardi Gras which lasted from 1903 to 1954, and draws from a host of other sources resulting in a wonderful and wacky event that is unique to Coney Island.
The Mermaid Parade celebrates the sand, the sea, the salt air and the beginning of summer, as well as the history and mythology of Coney Island, Coney Island pride, and artistic self-expression. The Parade is characterized by participants dressed in hand-made costumes as Mermaids, Neptunes, various sea creatures, the occasional wandering lighthouse, Coney Island post card or amusement ride, as well as antique cars, marching bands, drill teams, and the odd yacht pulled on flatbed.
Each year, a different celebrity King Neptune and Queen Mermaid rule over the proceedings, riding in the Parade and assisting in the opening of the Ocean for the summer swimming season by marching down the Beach from the Boardwalk, cutting through Ribbons representing the seasons, and tossing fruit into the Atlantic to appease the Sea Gods. In the past, David Byrne, Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson, Queen Latifah, Ron Kuby, Curtis Sliwa, Moby, David Johansen and Harvey Keitel have graced our shores, presiding over the assembled masses. Source

Cropped within this post card perfect view was a very sad tragedy. A retired professor drowned that day. The firemen were looking for his body out in the ocean, while the sun casts it's setting shades.
As I stood in the gentle autumn breeze behind the firemen, I felt rather insignificant, as sad as one man's death was, the sky doesn't pause to weep. It marches on beautifully as ever, as if the man never existed. The sky out lives everything.

Klamath County constructed a fairgrounds facility just east of town in the early 1900s. The grandstands are seen slightly above and left of center in this post card photo taken around 1907. The following year the fairgrounds were moved to a new location at the south end of Lake Ewauna. The Southern Pacific Railroad came through the old fairgrounds site in 1909. A cluster of trees at the Stukel Ranch is seen at upper left. The ranch was located just south of the A Canal, near where the YMCA is today. South Sixth Street is seen at upper left, extending toward another cluster of trees at the community of Altamont.
A view northward up the Link River Canyon shows how the area looked around 1908, when the Keno Canal was constructed. Though originally planned to run all the way to Keno, the canal was plagued with leaks from the beginning, and never made it past the Moore brothers' power plant at the bottom end of the river. The larger building at far left is the Martin Bros. flour mill, and farther upstream is the Moore lumber mill. Very few homes are seen on the east bank of the river.
This 1984 post card shows Anne Francis and James Milholin in the episode THE AFTER HOURS which originally broadcast June 1960.
