While I was on the beach capturing the beauty of the Gulf of Mexico, a fisher dude who was there with his son asked me if I could take a few photos of them and share the pictures with him via email. I don't really have much experience taking pictures of humans but I agreed to do it. I think they came out quite nice.
This is the last image from Anna Maria Island until next October.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback.
The main hotel and restaurant appear to be newly-constructed in this photo, which would date it to approximately 1931. Note that there are no gas pumps installed under the overhang yet.

1950s "old school" post card of B-61 Matador being launched from what was, at that time, the Air Force Missile Test Annex, Cape Canaveral, FL. Artwork based on a USAF Air Force Photo. The lighthouse is still there, today.

a circa-1910 post card view of Lynchburg's first hospital on record, the private St. Andrews Hospital at 917 Court Street. As the previously-posted aerial view reveals, the hospital was significantly expanded by the year 1923 (another section was constructed to the west, on the courthouse side). Today, the Lynchburg City Schools Administration Building is situated on this site. (post card courtesy of Sandra Weigand)

Tuck’s Post Card. Early 1900’s. Raphael Tuck and Sons. Printed in England. “Art Publishers to Their Majesties the King & Queen.”
Post card found among my mother's things. Not mailed, but Myrtle written on the back in pencil. There is faint writing on the side, but I need time (or someone's help) reading it. I can make out a little, but would rather know what all of it says before I type it out. No idea on the date.

This photo post card shows the 476 pulling the San Juan in Gato. It is post WWII because of the Army surplus truck on the loading ramp. Chickens, passengers, a car being loaded/unloaded, people on the porch of Gomez' store--a typical day in what is barely a wide spot in the road. This card was purchased in Chama from a rack full of similar cards about 1966.

Amongst Nan's things we found a post card from All Hallows taken between the wars.
Since then, the Blitz almost destroyed the church, but it was rebuilt in the 1950s, like so many other City Churches.
All Hallows is easy to miss or pass by, situated as its name suggests by the Tower of London.
--------------------------------------------------------
All Hallows by the Tower is the oldest church in the City of London and was founded 300 years before the Tower of London by nearly three hundred years, having been founded by the Abbey of Barking in 675AD. An arch from the Saxon church can still be seen today. In the crypt beneath is a Roman pavement, discovered in 1926, evidence of city life on this site for nearly two thousand years.
Located next to the Tower of London, the church has cared for numerous beheaded bodies brought for temporary burial following their executions on Tower Hill, including those of Thomas More, Bishop John Fisher and Archbishop Laud.
In 1666 the Great Fire of London started in Pudding Lane, a few hundred yards from the church. All Hallows survived through the efforts of Admiral Penn (William Penn's father) who, along with his friend Samuel Pepys, watched London burn from the tower of the church. William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, was baptised in the church and educated in the old schoolroom.
John Quincy Adams, sixth president of the USA, was married in All Hallows in 1797 and the Marriage Register entry is on display in the Undercroft Museum.
The church suffered extensive bomb damage during World War II and only the tower and the walls remained. The church was rebuilt after the war and was rededicated in 1957. The vicar at the time was the Rev'd "Tubby" Clayton, founder of the Toc H movement whose lamp of maintenance still shines in the Lady Chapel.
Beating the Bounds is an ancient custom still observed in many English parishes. Its roots go back to mediaeval times when parishes reaffirmed their boundaries by processing round them at Rogationtide, stopping to beat each boundary mark with wands and to pray for protection and blessings for the land. At All Hallows we beat the bounds of our parish every year on Ascension Day, and this year's ceremony took place on Thursday 9 May.
The Beating Party is made up of students from St Dunstan's College, Catford, who return to their roots in the parish of St Dunstan-in-the-East to take part in the proceedings. The south boundary of the parish is mid-stream of the Thames and the Beating Party, together with the clergy and the Masters of our associated Livery Companies, board a boat which takes them out onto the river to beat that boundary mark. They then return to shore and the procession moves around the parish, stopping at various points for the beating party to mark the boundaries with canes as they go. The ceremony is followed by a service of Festal Evensong at All Hallows.
Every third year the ceremony includes a 'confrontation' with the Governor and Yeomen Warders of HM Tower of London at the boundary mark shared by the Tower and the Church. During the middle ages the boundary was always in dispute, and this meeting commemorates an occasion in 1698 when a riot took place between the people of the Tower and those of the parish. Fortunately for all concerned, the exchange is rather more peaceful in present times!

STEET SCRUBBING - In Holland, Michigan, at "Tulip Time" in mid May, young and old alike dress in their native Dutch costumes to participate in the ritual of scrubbing the streets. Dutch dances, parades, windmills, tulips and traditional Dutch hospitality, creates one of the country's outstanding Springtime events.
I looked them up on the internet, and this festival still takes place. www.tuliptime.com/
According to their schedule of events, unfortunately it doesn't look like street scrubbing still occurs, but you can see Tulipalooza, Wooden Shoo-be-doo, Klompen Dancers, Bobby Vinton and the Oak Ridge Boys.

401 Euclid Avenue, demolished. In this image, Euclid Avenue is to the left and St. Augustine St. is to the right. A distant view of the church in a 1923 Underwood & Underwood aerial photograph shows that by that year, the church also featured a large three-story addition to the rear, backing up to Memorial Avenue (then 5th Street). In 1958, the the Church of the Nazarene took over this building, and by 1959, the building/property was listed as vacant.

Post Card in my collection. Not sure where it was taken or what the organization would be. I suppose it might have been a Methodist Camp Meeting.
A hay stacking operation typical of the early 1900s, when horsepower was used to move hay from the field, and to hoist bundles to the top of a hay stack. A derrick outfitted with ropes and pulleys enabled workers to raise large stacks. Considerable skill was required to build a stack that would shed rain without falling apart.

A dredge sits on Lake Ewauna. This craft is believed to the one brought to the Klamath Basin by J. Frank Adams to create an irrigation canal tapping Lower Klamath Lake. In later years it was used to build dikes along the shoreline of Upper Klamath Lake.

Klamath Falls photographer C.R. Miller took many photos at Crater Lake during the summer months. This is one of a few taken during the winter at a time when the only way to reach the rim was to ski from some point below.

Carrier-based fighter built by Blackburn Aircraft for the Fleet Air Arm. The Roc was a mythical bird from the tales of the Arabian Nights and the aircraft was developed from the Blackburn Skua. It was inferior to the Skua and only had a brief front line service.
Postcard in my father's war time aircraft photograph album. My father started the album about 1939 when he was aged 14, and this card probably dates from around then.
