Matthew Fells<p>"Ontario Place, sparkling on three man-made islands in Lake Ontario was opened by the Provincial Government in May, 1971. On its 94 acres are a 5-module pavilion containing restaurants, cafes, and boutiques. The Cinesphere (background) is a triodetic dome theatre with a 60x80 curved screen. The Forum (8,000 people), picnic grounds, playgrounds, the largest marina on the Great Lakes, contribute to this exciting new source of entertainment."</p><p>Photo by E.

Carl Johnson<p>Found a fascinating picture among my wife&#39;s family photos – young women sunning themselves on a boat deck, probably sometime in the 1940s. No idea where, though likely in Utah.</p><p>There&#39;s very little this casual, this everyday, anywhere in our old family photos.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/photographs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>photographs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/blackandwhite" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>blackandwhite</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/FoundPhoto" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FoundPhoto</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/FoundPhotos" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FoundPhotos</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/FoundPhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FoundPhotography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/BWPhoto" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BWPhoto</span></a></p>
Carl Johnson<p>I&#39;ve collected a number of <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/FoundPhotographs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FoundPhotographs</span></a> over the years, always thinking I&#39;m going to turn them into some kind of story or project, but in the end, I think reinterpreting them would be doing them an injustice. So I just post them as found. This was found along with numerous others at a vintage store in Jim Thorpe, PA.</p><p>I have no location, date, or any information, except that these four young women seem to be having a lovely time.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/FoundPhotos" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FoundPhotos</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/FoundPhotograph" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FoundPhotograph</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Photography</span></a></p>

Carl Johnson<p>I picked up several <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/FoundPhotographs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FoundPhotographs</span></a> in an antique shop in Jim Thorpe, PA, several years back with the idea of making up stories to go with them. Which thing I certainly could do. But as an amateur <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/historian" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>historian</span></a>, as a <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/FamilyHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FamilyHistory</span></a> researcher, I can&#39;t help but wonder at the real stories in these pictures. </p><p>Wonder if any <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/FashionHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FashionHistory</span></a> buffs could help date this by styles? </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/FoundPhotos" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FoundPhotos</span></a></p>
