| Steamboats on the Mississippi River in 1907 This shot was "colored" later, but I lived in New Orleans in the 50s and this sight was not uncommon even then. I took one up the river and it was wonderful! |

These are truly nostalgic and there is a deep sense of pathos... I love these look-backs Sylvia. Hope the weekend brings you sunshine! YAM xx
the last one is pretty amazing.
I really like all of them. Each one causes a different set of memories and thoughts.
Very interesting! I love4 old photos.
The Beatles ! When I think that they were the same age like me ! San Francisco has changed quite a bit !
A great set of old photos, Sylvia, even if they're all before my time. I love the Beatles and listen to them regularly. Have a wonderful weekend!
i wonder if that native american is as sad as i imagine him to be...seeing change on this doorstep...and can he even imagine how much his world will change int he coming years....
Amazing memories, Sylvia!
Four different and fascinating photos, Sylvia. Boats like that in New Orleans in the 50s? Hard to imagine.
