Places to Go; Places to Think About - Page Four


Some photographs aren't about people. Some are just places.

Even when there is an occasional person walking about in the snap, the picture is really about the place.

Here is a collection of such photographs; snapshots from a vacation or just a photo of a building, or a mountain, or a street. Maybe you'll see something familiar. IF you can identify any of these places, add it in the comment section.

As the real estate people say it: Location, location, location.

Sepia Saturday - Caves,Cliffs and Canyons


This week's Sepia Saturday suggestion is a cave.

So let's look at some caves, cliffs and canyons today.

LOST GALLERY has a few examples, taken by unknown photographers, somewhere in time, when they were tourists and spectators.

Cliff Dwellers

I couldn't leave this one out. Although we pretty much know who the photographer was and when it was taken and why, it is still a "found" photograph because I found it in a box in a junk shop.

This is a scene in a cave from the old movie called The Flying Saucer.
From Wiki:
The Flying Saucer (1950) is an American, black-and-white science fiction feature film, produced independently by Colonial Productions Inc. and distributed in the USA by Film Classics Inc.. The film script was written by Howard Irving Young from an original story by Mikel Conrad, who also produced, directed and starred in the film. Co-starring with Conrad were Pat Garrison and Hantz von Teuffen. It was the first film to deal with flying saucers, and has no relationship to Earth vs. the Flying Saucers.
