I thought this image of a couple enjoying a ride, could represent Old Quebec City in so many ways it could be a post card.
This is another photo, taken last year at the Garden of the Gods Park outside of Colorado Springs. The rock formations are wonderful; at times, the drama of the sky is amazing as the Garden abut the Rocky Mountains. The day I took this picture, though, the sky was flat and colorless. Thus . . . I used a sky out of extras in PPS9, and refined the edges using the Perfect Brush, the Refine Brush, and the Chisel tool. Once done, back to LR and a VSCO preset with adjustments to reduce color and work until the colors worked together. For me, the best results were somewhat odd, but in looking at them, they became to resemble post cards from the 50s and 60s because of the colors – not quite right, but expressive of the environment. Rather pleased with this one.
A cluster of cottages opened south of Klamath Falls in the late 1940s as Bratton's Motel, under the management of Willard T. and Lillian Mann. The motel took on Mann's name in the 1950s, when this post card was created. At that time the motel enjoyed a prime location at the Ashland-Weed Junction on Highway 97. In the late 1950s the name was changed to the Braecrest Motel, a name that stuck for many years. In later years it was also known as the Olympic Lodge Motel. Today the old motel, featuring duplex units constructed of concrete blocks with carports for each room, is the home of Turtle Cove, a transitional housing program for women.
We went to a yearly post card show on Friday. We came out poorer in money but richer in images! We bought four postcards with flags, six paper moon, and three that are just neat. I have posted the flag pictures today and will follow up now with some of the others.
This woman on roller skates holds a small sword and wears a semi-military costume with a tricorner hat. It seems likely to me that she was part of some kind of production on roller skates.
The divided back of the real photo postcard is unmarked.
A load of giant cabbages stacked on a horse-drawn wagon is shown in this humor post card. It's highly doubtful this photo was taken anywhere near Klamath County. However, cold-tolerant cabbages have at times been a minor crop on a few farms in the Upper Klamath Basin.
London is famous for it's Routemaster buses and other cities have transport icons like Paris once was with it's antiquated Renaults and even though they were commonplace right across much f the Communist Block red and cream Tatra Trams seem as though they should only be in Prague. Lovely to ride on but but you might get robbed if you are not careful by sophisticated pickpocket gangs.
Photograph of 'The Leaning Tower', 'Eiffel Tower', 'The Jet d'Eau fountain', 'London Eye', 'St Mark's Campanile (Bell Tower)' have been shot by me with Nikon D70s and is there on my stream in the 'Grand Europe Discovery' set in original form.

The ever lovely and popular St Ives. Living in Southend, I forget that England has some lovely beaches!
Had time to kill in Dundee, so set too with the camera phone and had a wander about. four views of Victoria Dock including the cruise ship Albatross and the frigate Unicorn.
My attempt at duplicating a post card shot in 1954
I needed to be off to the right more but there were trees and bushes that didn't exist in 54' that I would have been standing in
The view from the Rod & Reel Pier on Anna Maria Island was breathtaking today. And the mahi mahi sandwich was delicious!

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback.
Vintage post card from the 1960's.
The buildings on the left were removed to make way for more people to lay out on towels. No chairs were allowed to be brought in and the pool did not provide any when I was still going in 1973.
Evergreen Aqua Pool opened for business with three pools in 1958. In 2008 they celebrated their 50th anniversary. Sadly a fatality, the first and only one took place in the later part of that summer. Due to poor attendance, high bond costs, general maintenance costs the pools held out one more season, closing in 2009.
The pools were never open to the general public. Village residents had to buy a yearly bond in order to go. Bond prices around 1970 got up to around $400 to $500.00
The season ran Memorial Day to Labor Day for the 51 years.
Demolished in 2016
The large yellow brick building off in the distance is Little Company of Mary Hospital. It was torn down in 2012-13.
Update: May 2017 Half of the property is a parking lot now and the other half will be green space.
Another beautiful end to the day as the sun set into the Gulf of Mexico. This is actually the last image that I captured of the sunset tonight but I really liked the pelican silhouette and wanted to share it as the main image. A short sequence of the brilliant colors is posted in the comments.
