Back Page - Bicycles


Here is a page of found photographs with bicycles.

Four bikes, four guys
This one was almost completely faded to nothing. In the dim light of the junk shop where it turned up, there seemed to be two perhaps three bike riders. After a bit of tuning, there appears to be four.

Sepia Saturday - People on a Boat


(Note: This page originally appeared 3 Sept 2013 for Sepia Saturday and has been updated with additional material.)

The Sepia Saturday suggestion for today:


This week's suggestion, as usual, pointed in several directions. One might have collected some photographs of just places with no people in them or maybe photographs of boats or maybe just photographs that include water.

Photographs seem more interesting with people in them however. There are more stories.

So since this suggestion includes a touring boat with probably lots of tourists, I decided to go with a collection photographs of people on a boat in the water.

Yeah, I know; it's a stretch.

1950 flood

This one is just a raft.

Let's continue on with a few Canoes and Rowboats.

NEW ADDITIONS

Six men in a boat

Girl in a boat
Woman in rowboat

Here is a common pose:
A girl in a boat.
Why is this popular?
Is it because the camera was handy while loading the boat?
Or is it because the sweetheart just looked so trusting and lovely the photographer couldn't resist?

Three women
I guess three girls in a boat would be okay. Okay?
The best girl
Now there's only two in the boat

Okay then, FIVE

It looks like seven may be just about capacity for this little boat.


Now Six.

Well, now. This isn't a row boat.

Okay, let's include a few larger water craft.

Ferry

Well, now. This isn't a row boat either.

It's a ferry.


Crossing by ferry Military stuff on a ferry. What is the plural of Jeep, anyway? Do you have two Jeep or two Jeeps?
17 men on a boat.  At least.  Counting one of the shadows.
Okay, seventeen...
Native cargos Several ...

Algernon Trousers
Dolly on the boat 02

Here are three on cruise ships or ocean liners.

Personal Pinup

Man in life jacket

Those are life rafts and oars stacked above him and he is wearing a life jacket. Must be on a boat.

Working men

Marvin missed the boat

Once again I leave my favorite to the last.

Marvin missed the boat completely.

He would have been on the boat but he carelessly left it parked at the shore without anchor or dock line, while he visited the hot dog stand.

And that's Sepia Saturday for March 9, 2013. I hope it isn't too far off the mark.


Can't get enought? Watch this space!

THE KIDS Lesson one.
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.
