Vintage shots from days gone by!

Harbor Drive, Portland in the 50's.

 

Anchorage right after the 64' earthquake

 

Probably was true before the sissy bars started showing up.

 

I originally commented on how beautiful a picture of Multnomah Falls was back in the day and I was told it still is. Looking forward to seeing it when trying to complete my 50 states. It's even cooler that you have come so far and have gotten 37 already. Have a great trip in Aug and enjoy going to as many states as you can. The U.S. is such a diverse country with so many different things to see. Wud love to tour your country as well, but not sure I cud handle that long trip.

 

Agree that the US is extremely diverse other than everyone we have met is friendly and has a similar outlook to Australians - love of family and friends and a simple life. As for the trip, once you get on a plane, whether it's for a 2 hour flight or a 30 hour trip, you just try to dial out and do what it takes to get there. BTW, it's just as far from here to there as it is from there to here. It's just how you look at it.
Cheers.

WOW! some seriously awful Photoshopping here! Jeeeze Louise!
Here's the unaltered image, small but real!

 

Hi Turtleman, I had no idea. I was surfing the web and saw the photo and liked it. No idea it was photoshopped. Thanks for the correction. Peace

 

No big deal, we all have been fooled. I DO wonder though, WHY? Why take the time and trouble to do that ? Not you, whoever did the Photoshopping!

 

By the way, I understand your name is Gary but your photo resembles the Turtleman and I have a habit of giving people nicknames.

 

Where did this guy find the time to build the '32.

 

Beautiful gal. Just 1st class.
