The end of the summer season, but the fall is a great time at the beach.
Thank you SkeletalMess for the texture.

Playing with some editing in Luminar too see what it can do. The Reactions so far have been positive. I'm not used to applying this much processing to a photo.

Kandy (Sri Lanka), June 2010 --
I so like this photo that I can't / don't want to find words for it.
There's that contrast of vivid colors, there's her attitude, there's that colonial flavour in her outfit

Her father Richard Grech (1833-1911) moved his family there from the 1860’s. He had married his wife Constance (1843-1921) in 1860.

Hiroshige The Rocket. Late for Guy Fawkes but hey....makes a change from all those landscapes of his. A prolific artist with over 8000 works to his name I don't think I've seen one yet that I don't like. One sometimes sees what seems (to me) to be the self same view but titled Firework at Ryogoku.
He was born in 1797 and died in 1858.
Picked up this Post Card at the Drug Store. It caught my eye because it was the race I organized. Pretty cool that my race made it onto a Post Card.
WW1: "Off for the front"

Devonshire Park, Keighley, circa 1900. A Valentines Series post card. Devonshire Park was presented to the town of Keighley by the Duke of Devonshire in celebration of Queen Victoria's golden jubilee and was opened to the public on 4th September 1888.
The Valentine Company was founded in Dundee by John Valentine in 1825 and began printing postcards in 1896. Over the years they expanded to include offices in Jamaica, Madeira, Norway, Tangier, Canada, and New York. The postcards were mostly printed in Scotland in tinted halftone lithography or issued as real photo cards. They did not anticipate the public’s growing demand for colour cards and by the 1950s the business was suffering. The company was bought by John Waddington & Co. in 1963, and was then sold on to Hallmark Cards in 1980. The James Valentine Photographic Collection, which includes many examples of the Valentine & Sons postcards, is now held at the University of St Andrews in Fife.

A hotchpotch of fly stitch & french knots with fabric prints outlined. This needs a 'lift' - not sure what though - probably beads!
Isla Mujeres, Mexico
That's where I've been for the last few days. If you want to be on a beautiful beach, but don't want to be secluded in a resort, this is a perfect place to visit. I loved that I could explore easily and see residents go about their daily life. Taken at Playa Norte (North Beach.)

TEXAS
THE LONE STAR STATE
Becoming the 28th state on December 29, 1845, Texas is ranked second in size among all the states. Austin is the Texas capital, while Houston is the state's largest city. More than 4,000 kinds of wild flowers grow in Texas. The Bluebonnet, with its blue bonnet-shaped petals, is the state's official flower. Texas' official state bird is the mockingbird.

This postcard is 4" x 6" and was made for my on-line friend Royce of Graphic Threads. She has an Etsy shop. Royce loves oriental art ans I had some old pieces of remnant pieces. The threads were cut from the back of the many weaves that makes the embroidered motifs.
I have some old Montgomery postcards from the early sixties.
The newly completed Valley central high School. The image on this postcard was printed backwards.
The brick buildings seen here stood at the corner of Fourth and Main for a long time, but have been gone for some years now. The building on the corner was constructed in 1909 by First National Bank, whose officers included Evan Rogers Reames as president. It was later replaced by another building constructed by the California Oregon Power Co. Real estate broker Chuck Fisher built yet another building on the site in 1972, and it remains standing. An L-shaped building constructed in 1912 wrapped around the bank building, and housed a variety of stores over the years. Among them was Golden Rule Associated Stores, Hal's Sporting Goods, the Rainbow Theater, and Garcelon's. The rear portion of the building was demolished many years ago. The portion facing Main Street was severely damaged in the 1993 earthquakes, and was torn town in May 1994. It was replaced by office space that has been mostly vacant. This photo was probably taken around 1915.
