Barren mountain ranges, standing guard to fertile valleys - a scene only too common in Ladakh region.
I really don't know anything about this photo -- no idea when it was taken, or where ...
The presence of snow makes it obvious that it was taken in winter ... and almost certainly not in southern California. But the finished exterior of the house gives me the impression that this was not taken in one of the small mining towns where my grandparents lived. Maybe it was taken in a larger town in Colorado? It's a mystery ...
*********************************
To the best of my knowledge, most of the photos in this Flickr album were taken by my grandmother, Mabel Yourdon, during the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Most of them depict scenes of everyday life in mining camps and small towns near the Utah-Colorado border. Some of them show hunting, fishing, and camping trips in unspecified parts of the American west. It appears that a few of them were taken in southern California, when Mabel and her husband Ike traveled out there to visit relatives.
I have no idea what kind of camera Mabel used for these photos, nor what kind of film. There probably wasn’t that much variety available in the 1920s, and she was not a “professional” photographer. So it may have been a Brownie and whatever B/W film Kodak was selling at the time.
My stepfather, Ray Yourdon, was born in 1922; and his older brother, Marvin, was born two years before that. You’ll see photos of Ray and Marvin when they were young boys, when they were in high school, and when they went off to join the Navy and the Marines to fight in World War II.
Somewhere around 2005, I asked Ray if he could tell me the details of some of the photos; where possible, I have included those details in the notes for the photos. Some of the photos obviously evoked pleasant memories, and I heard stories about minor day-to-day events in his life that I had never heard before. But we rarely got through more than a few pictures before he ran out of energy; and so many of the photos have no explanation at all.
At this point, my parents and grandparents are all gone. I have cousins who grew up in the same area where these photos were taken, and one or two of them are still in that area. They may be able to fill in a few of the details; otherwise, you’ll just have to accept these photos as a glimpse of what life was like nearly a hundred years ago ...

Lhassa Tibet
Le Barkhor était le lieu de circumambulation préféré des pèlerins et des habitants de Lhassa. Le parcours faisait un kilomètre de long autour du Jokhang.

My boy studying Greek Mythology at school gave me an excuse to knock another one off my list. I've realised that my to 'MOC' list mostly consists of desert scenes with the occasional beach for variety :/
On the slide mount: Hospital Scene Providence R.I.
From a strange lot bought on ebay. They seem to be early film stock cut and mounted in 35 mm slide mounts. So far the box contains what looks like newsreel footage as well as stills from personal home movies. The owner may have been involved in early newsreels
This is obviously not my area but I think they are interesting. Any help would be much appreciated!

Pic Description - My face when you tell me Winter is coming. Ugh!
Did a quick but very cool and unusual shoot with a new photographer (to me) on the weekend and will have some epic pics to show you soon but for now, some of the last pics back from this shoot about a month ago.

For Day 19 of Inktober, I drew this Korean street scene I found on Flickr. The reference photo was taken in 2004 by Flickr photographer Paul Wasneski & you can see it here. Drawn directly in ink & colored with markers.
I loved how the light and reflections played off the street cars as I was driving through Bern, Switzerland. This photo was taken from the front seat of my car.
