taken this shot at Tanjung Lumpur. Tanjung Lumpur is a traditional fishing village located near the mouth of the Kuantan River. It is loosely translated into English as the " Cape of Mud". This village was in fact one of the earliest villages opened by the Malays in Kuantan many decades ago. It is located in the district of Kuantan about 2 kilometers away from Kuantan city. Tanjung Lumpur and Kuantan is divided by Kuantan river at the middle and connected by a bridge (Jalan Abu Bakar) 183 . Tanjung Lumpur is well known for its ikan bakar (grilled fish).

Second shot in the series, somehow playing with the polarizer I manage to get those nice sun rays. I will definitively try this technique with landscape photography.
Deuxième photo de la série, en jouant avec le polariseur je suis arrivé à produire ces jolies rayons. Il faut que j'essaye de reproduire cette technique pour de la photo de paysage.

Ray (on the left) and friend, in the tiny town of "Country Boy", when Ray was about 2.5 his mother, Mabel, took the picture, as indicated by the shadow at the bottom of the picture).
*********************************
To the best of my knowledge, most of the photos in this Flickr album were taken by my grandmother, Mabel Yourdon, during the 1920, 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 ...
On Tuesday I had three missed calls on my mobile. Obviously someone was trying to get hold of me! It was a young woman who had seen our poster advertising 'Ray' in a local pet food store. They had been looking for him for a couple of months. He had been booked in to be neutured and 'disappeared' three days before the event. His real name is John - Ginger John - lol. I think it is really funny that both of us named him a solid man's name which lets you know what kind of guy Ray/John is. His history is that he was abandoned when his owner couldn't keep him and 'dumped' in our local college's car park. This woman and her partner took him in. They have one other cat who is female and already neutured. Phill was home early, so we arranged that they come round and collect him (they live a couple of small roads away). Our cats were absolutely delighted when he went. Kaiser became totally relaxed again and I realised just how tense he had been with Ray around. So result all round as we thought.
But just as I was going to post this, Phill shouted "Ray's back"!! And at the exact same moment my neighbour text me to say Ray is sitting on my shed - lol I have just texted the owners and the reply came back that he had not settled back with them - he was very edgy the whole time (they have a small child as well). They are more than willing to try again but said that like us they just want him to have a good home and that if we want to keep him they will understand. Oh what a dilemma! Kaiser gets so so upset when Ray is around, but I think Ray could be a loving boy once he is neutured - it's just getting him done! I am going to contact the vet to ask their advice.
We are off to my sister's this evening to attend my youngest niece's wedding tomorrow (we are actually taking the photos!). So all this will have to wait until our return
