The women are actually surfers, not models, posing with their own boards.
The caption I found on a surfing forum says “Pat Crum, Lillian Galvin, Pam Toyer, Pam Inch and (Lillian’s sister) Dorothy Galvin on hollow boards at Manly Beach, near Sydney, Australia”
There’s an undated quote from Lillian:
“Dorothy (my sister) and I went for a ferry ride one Sunday afternoon and from then on surfed at Manly for years. Met Ray Leighton fashion photographer who took our famous photo on boards on beautiful Manly beach. He was a member of the surf club. I remember the saying there ‘Seven miles from Sydney a thousand miles from care.’ “
I know some of these are contested, it at least arguable, depending on your definition of terms…
For instance, hundreds of years BC, the Sumerians, the Greeks, and other groups had codes of justice that could be called constitutions.
The Magna Carta, in, IIRC, 1200CE, could be called one also.
I was taught that San Marino had the first constitution, back in medieval times, but it was several books in Latin, not one document, which is what the US Constitution did first.
Then you could ask, what is a newspaper? What makes building cars an industry? Etc.
I do love the picture illustrating printed money… I don’t think they had US dollars in ancient China.
It’s Helmcken Falls, in Wells Grey Provincial Park, in BC, Canada.
The 4th highest waterfall in the country, and very powerful.
What looks like a white bowl that it’s pouring water into is actually a huge crown of ice, created from all the spray, so big that traces of it are still visible in summer.
This artistic shop window is a real Art Nouveau gem in Douai, France, was designed around 1904 by architect Albert Pèpe and known as ‘La maison Tournesol’. It is a protected historical monument.

I bet there are some awfully scared fish in that lake.
Not to mention any other thirsty prey animals. 🙂
..
Ohhh! It’s adorable!
I want one! If I’m good, can I have one?
I’ll feed it and pet it and walk it on a leash… and it’ll stay small, right? Like… um…
Oh.
Sigh….
Anyhow, it looks a bit like a baby bison, but it’s actually a baby musk ox!
Musk oxen are smaller than bison, and incredibly shaggy.
But not small enough to walk on a leash.
no, young lady! you’re too irresponsible .
remember the goldfish incident?
Is that something along the lines of “The Noodle Incident”?
Sniffle…. It wasn’t my fault!
What did that scaly little yellow liar say?
…
Long boards!

Yes… I googled it before I saw your post…

But only AFTER I put up this sign.
Yeah, cos before that, it wasn’t designated, right?

The first printing press was in Germany, but the first printed book was in China?
Might have been a type of lithography?
They used wood block printing.
It was more like big stamps.
A press uses movable type.

Is this in Oregon?

I’ve never seen that before — and I live here!
But do you go to Wells Grey Provincial Park?

Alfalfa, Darla and Spanky… played by Carl Switzer, Darla Hood, and George McFarland…
In the Our Gang comedy “Arbor Day”, from 1936.
This period of the Our Gang films and cast is probably the most familiar to those of us who watched them on TV, retitled “The Little Rascals”.

Nice hat.
..
This has me drooling just looking at it!
No cheating there!
..
The sun had to hit just right for that one. I wonder how many days the photographer waited?
Could have just been serendipity, too.
Time-lapse still.
see the stuffed bear?
I think i got it!
I see it… but may I say that I don’t really like the idea of finding a plush bear in a pile of sticky and gummy candy?
NO. young lady!
you keep forgetting the goldfish incident
Ohh…. that goldfish incident…..
I thought you meant the other one

One of my favourite songs.
Grace Slick is 86 years old now.
Can’t recall ever hearing that, good though.
Artemis II made it around the back of the moon.

Needs a new coat of paint (probably had better repair the dry rot and cracks first) or there won’t me a reason to “protect” it much longer.
Imagine trying to get a broken pane replaced!
Imagine trying to get a bureaucracy to pay for keeping it up.
