This is one gorgeous Vintage Garden. Nice pool in the middle. Surrounded by blooming flowers that look like tulips and daffodils. I just don’t know where the garden actually is. Perhaps a retirement home? Restaurant? Hospital of some sort? What’s your guess?

Fun at the Oregon Coast – 1961
Tourist on the Oregon Coast.
I’m pretty sure this picture was taken at the Oregon Coast just north of the Sea Lion Caves. On the head in the background would be the Heceta Head Lighthouse.
Temple of Bacchus – 1956
The Temple of Bacchus is one of the three temples at Baalbek Ruins in what is now Syria. While this temple is larger then Greece’s Parthenon it is much less well known. This is despite the fact that it’s one of the best preserved Romans temples in the world.

Cute Baby – 1959
This cute baby would be 55 years old today. You have to wonder where she is now and how her life turned out. I love the innocent expression she has as she plays with the mail.

In a different view of Las Vegas, we see the Stardust Hotel and Casino with it’s premiere show “Lido of Paris.” Interesting to note, Wikipedia says that this circular sign was replaced in 1967. Since the sign also says “Grand Prix 1968,” perhaps it was replaced late in the year in the off season?

Magic Lantern Slide: Wizard Island
This is one of three Magic Lantern Slides I currently own. The location, Wizard Island in Oregon’s Crater Lake, looks much the same now as it did over one hundred years ago when it was photographed.
As far as I know this is the earliest photo of Crater Lake and specifically the old cinder cone now known as Wizard Island. The exact dat [...]
Unknown Christian Church – 1952
This is an unknown Christian Church (to me) somewhere in Egypt or the Middle East. The photo was taken in 1952 and is part of the same collection that revealed the gems of the Baalbek Ruins and Life at Giza.
