There's an unlabelled wooden box in my Grandfather's slide collection containing 100 (well, 103 if you count the loose ones) slides remounted in glass slide mounts.
This contains all the photographs from a mysterious holiday that appears to have involved visiting various parts of Italy and, on closer examination, appears to have started off in the rather exotic location of Monte Carlo which we covered in my previous blog.
Now, I've been having "issues" with the way this blog composition software handles multiple photographs around some text, so, for a while, I'm just going to generally let the pictures speak for themselves, although, in this set, we begin by returning to that mysterious "somewhere else" where my Grandparents are still having a fine old time of it down on the beach before discovering the stone bridges of Taggia (?) and other sights of old Italy, sometime around three-thirty in the afternoon(???)

Gosh, those red chairs are so vivid.
ReplyDeleteI think it is the blues that are first to fade...
DeleteEither way it looks great. Thank God you are digitising and preserving them.
ReplyDeleteIt's true... having waited 36 years to do "something" it does seem that if I'd left it another decade, they might have all been too faded. The "bought ones" (cheaper film stock?) have already faded considerably.
