The morning looks like an Ansel Adams photograph

The beat on the radio shakes the car

A vortex of wind

Like a lover’s hand in my hair

I want to stay here-

Follow the open road

Lose myself in the music

World War One Photo #2: Ypres

Posted on May 17, 2011 by brushedwithmystery

If anyone can offer insight into this photo I would appreciate it.  The back says “Ypres,” and the picture is evidently a contrast of a street scene before and after the Great War.  The date on the arch  is Roman numerals for 1894. Anyone know?  I just don’t have enough time to research, but want to share….

Thank you!

Sorry about the warped look- all of the photos were rolled up…tightly (any suggestions to flatten them?)

Cheers!

World War One Photos Found!

Posted on May 15, 2011 by brushedwithmystery

While in the basement of my infamous  family home, I found  a series of rolled up World War One Photos.  They are AMAZING!  I can’t wait to share them- I want to do some research first. My grandfather was a colonel in World War One, I’m not certain if this gave him access to rare photographs…?
