By the Sea

 

Why are there so many photos of three people out there?  Someone had to take the picture. 

Tending Nets

It looks like late nineteenth, early twentieth century, with women readying nets for the two men in the smaller boat.  It's hard to imagine that there was a time when commercial fishermen went to sea in small row boats.  I wonder how many of the women in this photo ended up as widows.

More Mystery Locales, The Travelers Collection

A month ago, I bought a small collection of photos, heavy on travel  shots.  They're all from the same source, so someone, or some family liked to keep moving.  I'm putting these three up together, because they all have that Mediterranean feel, southern Europe, maybe North Africa.  They're not labeled, and there's nothing so distinctive in any of these photos, that would make it possible to go searching, on the net, for a location.  So, if anyone out there recognizes their old home town or favorite destination, leave a comment.
