I got this set of photos of this flapper girl on eBay, and was touched by the fact that they were important enough to her to keep in perfect condition for decades, until they evidently wound up in some estate sale. So, here they are for all the world to see on the Internet; it certainly puts it all into perspective when one realizes that she was born at least a hundred years ago!

 

Thanks to everyone who has appreciated these pictures -- I'm glad I can make them live on, though I'd love to know who the mystery woman was!

Scotty's Castle (also known as Death Valley Ranch) is a two-story Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival style villa located in the Grapevine Mountains of northern Death Valley in Death Valley National Park, California. "Scotty's Castle" is named for gold prospector Walter E. Scott, although Scott never owned it, nor is it an actual castle. Prospector “Death Valley Scotty” claimed this elaborate Spanish-style mansion was built by gold from his fictitious mine. In reality, it was the 1920s vacation home of his wealthy friends.

 

Hidden in the green oasis of Grapevine Canyon in far northern Death Valley, the Death Valley Ranch, or Scotty's Castle as it is more commonly known, is a window into the life and times of the Roaring '20s and Depression '30s. It was and is an engineer's dream home, a wealthy matron's vacation home and a man-of-mystery's hideout and getaway.

 

Walter E. Scott, Death Valley Scotty, convinced everyone that he had built the castle with money from his rich secret mines in the area. Albert Mussey Johnson actually built the house as a vacation getaway for himself and his wife Bessie. Scotty was the mystery, the cowboy, and the entertainer, but he was also a friend. Albert was the brains and the money. Two men as different as night and day, from different worlds and with different visions - who shared a dream.

The neon-lined stretch of Broadway through North Beach is the city's red-light district, home to strip clubs as well as many nightclubs and bars, and has been featured in several films and television shows.

At the end of the tour people came into the Allis-Bushnell House museum for fireplace warmth, snacks and music! The Daniel Hand High School jazz band set the mood. Jazz band players include Kate Burton on bass, Nick Valentine on trumpet, Nick Ruiz on trombone, and Liam Elliott on keyboard and Colson Ganino on the drums.

"They are careless people, Tom and Daisy -- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made..." - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

 

well this is attempt numba 2 to photograph the same abstract concept... the first was the girl and the world photo and now this...i cheated. i used The Great Gatsby when i really need to use myself, my own life in my own element. and a junk yard. a junk yard would be fantastic. i dont dislike this photo. its just not what i was going for.....
