Here is the Amelia Island Lighthouse from my Post Card Collection. This Lighthouse is very difficult to Photograph because it is located in a fenced-in area on steep hill on Amelia Island. It is visible from a Park/Trail on the East side of the hill, however it is partly obscured by vegetation, preventing a Clean Record Shot from the park. Fernandina Beach is also located on this Island in Nassau County Florida along the border with Georgia. The First Coast Railroad Yard is located on the North end of the Amelia Island along with the Port. This was a former CSX Branch Line from Yulee Junction on the Mainland.

probably from the early 1900s - this post card was never sent.
That headdress (with the little black hat) was a regional tradition from the Haute Loire. Love her shawl, her hands that have done plenty of hard work and her lace pillow - very traditional from the area and that she has 2 different shapes of bobbin there.
Unfortunately the piece of lace on the pillow moved and is a blur but I'm guessing it would've been 'Cluny'
We spent a few days soaking up the sun and just relaxing in Malaga. No drop dead must see sights but it was a chill city that we loved exploring. Definitely glad we spent time there!
Thats a post card I bought in april, in Bonito (MS - Brazil).

English Series Photo Precision post card
Photo-Precision Limited, St Albans (printers and publishers of postcards 1946 – 1969).
Photo Precision was established in 1946, by Directors Arthur Smith and Tom English. Arthur Smith served his apprenticeship with "Valentines" of Dundee as a photographer.
The company was based based in Perth Road St Albans. Arthur was called up in the R A F in WW2 as a private as an Ariel photographer, but failed his Aircrew medical as he was virtually blind in one eye. He finished his service as a Wing Commander, second in command of photography at Whitehall.
Tom English worked with experimental Dep't at Farnbourgh as a photographic engineer. Presumably, they assumed that this was the perfect partnership to form a business, after the end of WW2. The original factory was established at Caledonia Road in London.
In 1963 the company bought fellow postcard publishers, J B White of Dundee. However, Photo-Precision was itself taken over by Colourmaster Ltd in 1969.
"Colourmaster" was the brand name of Photo Precision used for all its postcards and guidebooks.
The company moved from its base in St. Albans, (Hollywell Hill) to St. Ives in Huntingdonshire, together with a new " Marinoni " litho printing set up, however sadly shortly thereafter went into administration.

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.
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.

Tivoli Gardens
Tivoli is many different things: Denmark’s most popular tourist attraction is simultaneously an institution, a bearer of tradition, a national symbol and a limited company. Not only is it one of the world’s oldest amusement parks – the one that gave Walt Disney the idea for his Disneyland – it is also the third most visited in Europe.
Tivoli has a tradition of renewal. As Tivoli’s founder, Georg Carstensen, once said in 1843: “Tivoli will never be finished”. Every year, there is some new addition – a new ride, a new restaurant, a new kind of entertainment – and the old must make room for the new. But Tivoli is more than just amusements, good food and entertainment. Tivoli is also fairy lights, flowers and above all, romance. Tivoli is at its most romantic when darkness falls, but no matter when you choose to visit the Gardens, it's like stepping into a magic universe.
The fairy tale starts the moment you leave the outside world.
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.

Post Card sent to Olive G. Payne, 144 Cedar Street, Clinton, Massachusetts from her sister Beatrice Eldridge Payne from Northampton, England, 23 August 1904.
Olive G Payne born May 1892, Massachusetts and her sister Beatrice born March 1885 in England were the daughters of Hector Payne (born June 1858, England) and Martha, nee Boston, Payne (born August 1857, England). Hector was a Draftsman and he and his family had come to the USA in 1887. In 1911 they were in England at 35 Wilson Patten Street, Warrington, Worcestershire.
Beatrice Eldridge Payne seems to have stayed in England where on 23rd November 1911 at Warrington, Lancashire she married Alec Westley Skempton. Their only child, Alec Westley Skempton born 4th June 1914 at Northampton was to become the noted Scientist Sir Alec Westley Skempton.

The Brewster F2A Buffalo was an American fighter aircraft which saw service early in World War II and was designed and built by the Brewster Aeronautical Corporation. The Buffalo was largely obsolete when the United States entered the war, being unstable and overweight.
In December 1941, Buffalos operated by both British Commonwealth (B-339E) and Dutch (B-339D) air forces in South East Asia suffered severe losses in combat against the Japanese Navy's Mitsubishi A6M Zero and the Japanese Army's Nakajima Ki-43 "Oscar". The British attempted to lighten their Buffalos by removing ammunition and fuel and installing lighter guns to improve performance, but it made little difference.
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.
