Sepia Saturday - More Snow

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.

Here is a popular theme: The old homestead, covered with snow.

Kilts in a Snowstorm
(A heartwarming tale)

"Look at that! This dang wind blew my skivvies off again!"

This is as close to the actual coloring of the slide as I could get. I don't know if the scene was actually that color or some pigment faded in the film over time.

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.

You want snow? I give you snow.

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.
