Sitting Near Water

Alright, I'm assuming that the "1.VII.21"  in the lower right corner means either January 7, 1921 or the first day of July, 1921.  I'm leaning towards Europe and July because of the laefy green tree in the background.

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-Standing on the Dock of the Lake

Thank you Otis Redding.

Click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels, go back to the very first post in this collection and you'll find a reference to Lake Placid, in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York.  Dotted with lakes, both large and small, the Adirondacks have long been a go to spot for second homes for the rich and near rich of the northeast.  I'll bet these people had money, and lived in New York City.

Tiny Boat Pictures 2

I grew up next to one of the most polluted rivers in the United States.  That didn't stop me from going in the water.  I can remember wanting a boat so I could go down river.  Never got the boat, but I've been told the Kiski River isn't dirty anymore.

Rivers, Lakes and Oceans, The Travelers Collection

I admit to a certain amount of OCD in my personality.  The fact is, every time I buy one of these small collections, there  are a few less than interesting photos.  But in the end, it drives me crazy if I don't publish every last image.  So some generic scenery.

The top photo is dated, "June 1950"  Number two in the column, "1956 Iowa, Clear Lake."  The rest are all complete mysteries, so if anyone can identify the locations, I'll be grateful for the help.

It's time to leave this collection for awhile.  Sooner or latter I'll return to it and add some more photos.  As always, click on travelers collection in labels to bring up everything to date.

The Swimming Dock

Dated July 1931, during the great depression. Even in hard times people can enjoy the simple things, like a nice swim.
