GRANDAD'S SLIDES (PART 80) - MYSTERIOUS BLUE BOX

SLIDES 0579-0580
Two random pieces of loose (ie unmounted) slide film showing the Atomium in Brussels looming high at the end of a street on some unknown date possibly in the late 1950s mark the end of the images stored for all these years in that "Mysterious Blue Box" of glass-mounted slides which we've been slowly working our way through over this past few weeks.

We're approaching about a third of the way through the total archive of my Grandfather's slides, by the way, which is either good or bad news depending upon just how weary you've become of this venture...

Tomorrow we'll be making a start on the smaller individual boxes of slides that were stored alongside these more "impressive" containers which does mean that things are going to get slightly more random than they've already been, if that is at all possible.

Many have minimal labelling, but some do not have any at all, and in some instances I did, unfortunately, start scanning the pictures from the wrong point which means that I'll have to mess around with the number order a little in a manner that will probably not bother anyone other than myself.

Still, onwards and upwards, eh...?

  1. Oh yes, bring it on. I though for a moment they'd landed though.
