This week the Sepia Saturday suggestion is about snow. Back in February of 2013 we did a Sepia Saturday page about
People Posing in the Snow.
So for this page we will find some snow photographs we didn't see on that page.
The first A-leans landed in their strange craft. On a quiet residential street in Bent Spoon, North Dakota, the UFO appeared without fanfare one morning out of a snowy sky.
Freda Gogh spotted it first as it was in front of her house.
The neighborhood gathered to gawk and remained to rubber-neck. After they were through slapping their foreheads, they speculated on the origin of the UFO and Freda’s new toque.
Most importantly, they discussed what they were going to do with the craft as it was blocking the street and preventing anyone in the neighborhood from getting down to Ben And Jerry’s for the latest flavor.
Finally the conversation degenerated to the usual things: getting the storm windows up in preparation for next winter, which direction is north and what the term cook-out actually means.
The A-leans wandered off early on.
Kilts in a Snowstorm
(A heartwarming tale)
"Look at that! This dang wind blew my skivvies off again!"
Here are a couple shots from that set of over 300 35mm negatives found in the basement of a junk store in Wichita Falls, TX. Most of the photographs were taken at Bassingbourn AFB during the Winter of 1944-45. The frame on the right is very poignant. It is of snow on tangles of barbed wire, somewhere on the base.
Now shovel on back to the

THE KIDS It is always a mystery how a photograph of any of these precious children could end up lost or abandoned. Here are a few. You will probably say "Ooh..." at least once.
Dee and the Business School The beautiful Dee. A curious story; What do you see?
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? "What are they doing?"
Some wonderful photos here. The filigreed snow on branches is quite lovely. The shot of the A-lean craft was fun, but my favorite picture is the poor fellows in kilts in blowing snow. Gad, but they must've been cold!
ReplyDeleteThanks La Nightingail. Yes, those tree snapshots are very nice. There was some artistic thought behind those photographs. And I just can't imagine being out in a blizzard wearing kilts.
DeleteI expected you would have plenty of cold folk and icy scenes, but no snow angels?
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike Brubaker. Nope, I haven't found a single snow angel. I haven't even found a snowman. One would think that they would be the subject of lots of photographs.
DeleteA great collection of snow photos and a good sense of humour to go with them.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, diane b. Sometimes a found-photograph is just waiting to tell a story.
DeleteThe kilt phoio made me shudder,
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob Scotney. Me too. It's a movie still that I found. I'm not sure what movie though.
DeleteA fourteen course meal of wonderful old photographs - enough to satisfy any appetite and a pleasure to view.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alan Burnett. I think I have about exhausted the GALLERY of snow pictures.
DeleteNo thank you no more snow, or cold or crusty shoveling or in fact no more winter, please! I do say my is so warmed by the Kilts in snow!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen S. No more for me either. But I live in Oklahoma and we could use some moisture of any kind!
