Slides from my father's colour slide collection 1960s to 1970s. These were taken at my grandparents house in New Road Chilworth. Slides are printed with date of May 64.
It's always a pain to get the mixer out of the cabinet, so I built a simple slide out tray using a set of full extension slides and some plywood.
Jim's Christmas present from Tessa was to go on The Slide, which is a tunnel slide from the top of the ArcelorMittal Orbit. It can be seen here as the small silver tube encircling the Orbit. It's like a swimming pool flume without the water, but 178m long and with views of London from the glass-topped sections.
north of Gardiner, Montana; the unusual cliff rock formation on the side of Cinnabar Mountain is called Devil's Slide. It was created over the eons by alternate beds of different types of stone being tipped almost vertically and eroding at different rates.
Red- eared Sliders in their typical 'neck up' position showing off their red mark at their ear position. The red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans) is a semi-aquatic turtle belonging to the family Emydidae. It is a subspecies of pond slider. It is the most popular pet turtle in the United States and also popular in the rest of the world. It is native only to the southern United States and northern Mexico, but has become established in other places because of pet releases and has become an invasive species in many introduced areas, such as California, where it outcompetes the native western pond turtle.

Found slide in GEPE home mount, undated, showing what I think is the Embankment alongside the Thames in London.
Found Fujichrome slide dated `June 1998 manually labelled "Rickmansworth", showing two steam locomotives passing. Rickmansworth is in Hertfordshire, UK.
These slides were taken by my father during his tour of duty in the Vietnam war. I am not sure where or what year. The titles show when the slides were processed and I believe the date to be accurate since he sent home slides regularly.

I quite liked the slides which I made for a talk that I will be giving the day after tomorrow in Milano. So, I decided to upload some of them to flickr as well.
The event info is here:
There's enough of a newel post at the end to do too much sliding. Still, the sheen of the banister makes me think of generations of families resting their hands to slide down the wood as they descended the stairs. I'm sure some kids tried sliding, too!
