Columbia – 1978
This slide is simply labeled “Columbia.” No idea where it actually is other then that. Does anyone know if this is some significant building?

United Nations building in Geneva ...
The United Nations building in Geneva is the second largest United Nations site. The building itself is the Palais des Nations building. It was originally constructed between 1929 and 1938 for the ill-fated League of Nations. It was expanded in the early 50’s and then again in the late 1960’s. So this picture would have been taken [...]
Thailand Temple – 1967
This is a Thailand Temple from 1967. I couldn’t find much information about the temple, where it actually is, or what kind of temple it really is. The first slide is simply labeled “Thailand Temple.” The second unlabeled. It sort of looks like there is an Pagan Symbol of some sort over the front door though, and some of the [...]
Asian Children – 1981
This photo of a group of American tourists greeting some Asian Children is hilarious to me on so many levels.
It’s funny how most of them don’t seem to really care at all. Either that or they’re going “hey look! White people!” No clue where this picture was taken. The slide is labeled “woh 10” with [...]
The Las Vegas Strip – 1968
The Las Vegas Strip looks nothing like this these days. The hotel names are the same, Caesars Palace and the Flamingo both exist still, but almost every single thing in this picture has been destroyed and rebuilt. Most likely twice since then because the one over arching truth about The Las Vegas Strip is that each Casino has to be better, b [...]
U.N. Protest Sign – 1965
This 35mm slide from 1965 is simply labeled “Across the street from UN building.” It depicts a U.N. Protest Sign erected on a building across the street from the U.N. Assembly building in New York City. This building is long gone as the entire block has been rebuilt from the ground up. But it makes one wonder about the owner of &# [...]
Tourism at Giza – 1955
Tourism at Giza to see the pyramids has been a thing as long as anyone can remember. It’s not only Egypt’s most visited location, it is the only one of the remaining Ancient Wonders of the World. Egypt recognizes this and has finally turned around decades of issues between tourists and hawkers to make the location even more touris [...]
Tomb of Menkaure – 1955
I apologize for the poor quality of this photo, but I could not clean it very well due to how the slide is preserved. But, I thought this photo of the Tomb of Menkaure was still very interesting. Mostly because I have never heard of Menkaure.
Old photo of the Tomb of Menkaure from 1955
The Tomb of Menkaure is the smallest of the three pyrami [...]

Mickey Mouse at the New York World’s Fair in 1965
As we discovered in the past, Walt Disney had a sizable presence at the 1964/1965 New York World’s Fair, where he perfected the technologies that would be used to build many of the rides at Disneyland. The same technology with updates is still in use at Disneyland, Disney World, an [...]
Mons Meg – 1965
Girls climbing on cannon
From 1965 again, we have two cute girls climbing on top of a cannon at Edinburgh Castle. Now days the cannon is probably roped off or has signs on it saying to stay off. According to Wikipedia, this cannon is called “Mons Meg,” an bombard built originally in 1449. It was used in battle until the 16th centu [...]
