HFF to all! This is a beautiful sculpture, or art piece fence, composed of glass columns made of sand from every desert in the world. It's at the Apple Park in Cupertino, California. If you're interested, there's information about it on the plaque in the comments below,(view large for easy reading). Or here are a few a links, if that works better. www.ipernity.com/doc/289709/52471036 www.ipernity.com/doc/289709/52471924 www.ipernity.com/doc/289709/52471034

Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park Theme of: Flight. Sorry to be out of order - we were away in the West! This is a Coney Island souvenir card with a very beautiful sleeve. (See below). this was a Craigslist purchase that I bought from a local women who was selling many of her family's old photographs.

HFF friends! Just got back from California. We went across the country by train. So incredible! This is Pigeon Point Lighthouse on Route #1, Pescadero, California. Here is some information from the State Park site: Pigeon Point Light Station State Historic Park: Perched on a cliff on the central California coast, 50 miles south of San Francisco, the 115-foot Pigeon Point Lighthouse, one of the tallest lighthouses in America, has been guiding mariners since 1872. Its five-wick lard oil lamp, and first-order Fresnel lens, comprised of 1,008 prisms, was first lit at sunset, November 15, 1872. The lens stands 16 feet tall, 6 feet in diameter, and weighs 2,000 pounds. Now on display in the fog signal building, it sat in a lantern room constructed at the Lighthouse Service's general depot in New York before being shipped around the Horn. Although the original Fresnel lens is no longer in use, the lighthouse is still an active U.S. Coast Guard aid to navigation using an automated LED beacon. The coastal areas surrounding Pigeon Point Light Station are rich with life. Marine mammals, such as seals and whales, can be seen regularly from shore as they pass by beyond the surf. The intertidal zone along this part of the coast, particularly in the rocky reefs that flank the light station, contains a diverse and numerous variety of plant and animal life.

Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park Theme of: WEDDINGS Ok, this is a little bit of a cheat because this is not before 1980, but it's October of 1982. Posting it anyway! This is my husband and I on our wedding day. We were married by a Justice of the Peace who was also a sheep farmer, so it took place on her farm. I bought the pink furry jacket a few years before at a church sale. It was clearly from the 1950s and would have worked well with a straight long skirt, but I paired with an Indian cotton dress that I bought two nights before - because, why not? I wore the amethyst necklace that my Nana had asked me years before to wear at my wedding (imagining me in white, I assume) and grabbed the flowers off the kitchen table as we left. We don't remember where Brian got his jacket - but probably at a sale years earlier in his hometown. It was a perfect day!

Vivian received another dollie from a lady in Rochester, NY that we met when we were here three years ago. Hope your children have a merry Xmas.

Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: ARM IN ARM Don't they look like people you'd like to know? Small flat brown album found in Warrensburg, NY, October 2013, possibly originating in the Glens Falls, NY area, 1920s.

We were lucky enough to be right in the middle of the solar eclipse totality path. It was a completely awe-inspiring, surreal, fantastically beautiful experience. This photo was taken by my son, Max.

Taken from our back porch - minutes away from totality. My husband took this photo.

Written on the back: ONVILLE STUDIO, Ardmore, Okla. For my Vintage Twin collection. There's something a little disconcerting in older twins who still dressed identically. I believe this is the 1920s.

Brought forward for Happy Fence Friday. Panton, Vermont. USA Our weather has gone back to snow. About 5 inches yesterday - with a big storm coming in tomorrow evening. Sigh. Anyway, looking forward here's what the "sky" silo looks like in June. HFF friends!
