Strange clouds and quite eerie colours this morning on Glastonbury Tor. This photo was taken about 30 minutes after sunrise. It was quite misty on the ground and very hazy but still made for a lovely way to start the week.

A photo of my mother; circa late-1940s, unknown location (possibly Portland, Ore., or Vancouver, Wa.)/photographer. That's a solid-looking auto (per visual search, probably a circa-1947 Cadillac). From a negative. #analogphotography #blackandwhitephotography #negative #vintagecar

A vintage photo of Hazel M. Falk; smiling slightly, standing with one hand on a shiny luxury vehicle (probably a circa 1947 Cadillac). A multi-dwelling building provided the backdrop. -JBF

A photo of me, by Roman Scott: Pearl Street Mall, Boulder, Co., April, 1985. Thanks to Dave Scott. I checked the boxes for dwelling in hippie college towns in the 80s (both Boulder, and Eugene, Ore.). #analogphotography #believeinfilm #blackandwhitephotography #boulder #colorado

A real photo postcard, from the parental archives (probably via my grandmother). Circa 1915, possibly in Missouri. Subjects and photographer are unknown, but it's an intriguing image. #analogphotography #blackandwhitephotography #postcard #vintage

Four subjects, leaning toward the left of the WWI-era image. The people leaned to the left of the image, and they wore a variety of male and female-styled suits and dresses. They were standing against a rock outcropping, with a ledge or cliff behind. -JBF

On 24 August, 1969 (in a few hours, based on my time zone, it'll be 57 years ago) I was in a campground in Canada, on a family trip (six days after Woodstock ended). I haven't been able to decode TKC, but it was in BC or Alberta. We returned for another round in Canada in 1974, for nearly a month.
