Sometimes, black and white can make water look spectacular. Maybe it was taken in a low lying boat, or it could be on a shore bank. Either way, They got a good perspective. I'm no architect, but the buildings don't look north american. It could just be a style. Wherever it is, It looks like a wonderful place to relax.

Just a boat
This image is oddly calming, yet creepy. It feels like it belongs in Miss Perigrins Home for Peculiar Children, a book I cannot recommend enough. It just has a mysterious vibe to it. I can't tell for sure but I think this is from the 30s based on the paper. This is a response to The new found photography's post.

Just a puppy? or something more?
From a glance, there doesn't seem to be much to the photo. just a slightly blurry, slightly out of focus dog. By most standards, just another photo that would be tossed back in the bin. But if you look closer, there is something a little odd about it. In the corner, there is what appears to be a wheelchair. Who knows who it is, it could be a 90 year old or a nine year old. They look as if they're at a pier, so they could be off on a fancy yacht or gust injuring the view. Thats the beauty of found photos, how everyone can make up a story to go along with us and we are all equally correct.

On a raft in lake
This is one of those photos that becomes so much better when you read the caption. They're certainly in the lake. This was originally written in pink pen, but is not visible in the scan. This look to be taken in the late 20s or 30s, just based on the swimwear. You have to wonder what happened to this family though the great depression. Did they survive? Or did they go bankrupt? We'll probably never know for sure.

Sailor, Sailor
This sailor seems very relaxed, which makes it looks like more than a usual "Smile for grandma" shot. His air is one of casualness, almost a little disapproving, as if to say "Hey, I'm trying to read". This photo also goes into the category of "Shadow of photographer". These two officers look as if they are on a navel ship, but I may very well be wrong. This photo was bought at a local flea market.
