Translation:
Clark Gable (February 1, 1901 – November 16, 1960) was an American actor, film star, and sex symbol of the 1930s and 1940s, nicknamed the “King of Hollywood.” He won an Academy Award (1935). Carole Lombard (October 6, 1908 – January 16, 1942) was an American actress and Academy Award nominee.
Might have used the ‘Tilt-Shift’ photography technique, or, it may indeed be a model. Things around the docks look too clean, there’s no clutter or vehicles, so probably a model rather than ‘Tilt-Shift’.
Unquestionably a model. The Intrepid Air/Sea Museum (the carrier at the bottom) has several planes crowding the deck in reality. The ships and boats have no wakes and the liner pulling in would be guided by tugs.
I’d read most of the Hardy Boys, but never a Nancy Drew–more of a boy/girl thing back in the 50s. I would have no more read a ND than I would put on makeup
I read every Hardy Boys… and tons of other series.
Most of Tom Swift, the Bobbsey Twins, two series about nurses (Cherry Ames and Sue Barton) a bunch of English ones we got in Libya, by Enid Blyton… The Secret Seven, Famous Five … a series about ballerinas in an abbey.
We shared, so my brother and sister read them all except he wouldn’t read the nurses or ballerinas.
I think it was only me who read the old series like Mary Poppins and Dr. Dolittle.
Pooh of course if that counts.
I tried the Oz books and the Narnia ones but didn’t like them.
I think series books made me what I am today.
What that is, I do not know
I didn’t like them but my sister did. She read them all and couldn’t understand why I didn’t get into them. I was into Encyclopedia Brown, and in Junior High, Ian Fleming’s James Bond. I owned all the Bond books at one time.
In the early 1970’s Air Canada installed a dance floor to a 747 flying between Toronto and Europe so passengers could dance to disco during the flight, and featured a mirrored wall with music provided via 8-Track tapes.

United Airlines introduced a lounge named the ‘Friendship Room’ to some of their 747’s.
.
American Airlines had a piano bar at the back of at least one 747.
Continental Airlines introduced ‘Pub Flights’ which included a bar complete with games, cocktails, and bartenders.
.
Qantas had the ‘Captain Cook Lounge’, complete with a stand-up bar behind the cockpit.
.
This was all part of a campaign to attract customers at the time, where nowadays it’s ‘Cram them in and tell them their lucky to actually have a seat inside the plane!’ Along with “What do you mean you wanted your luggage to arrive in the same country as you!?”
I feel that, along with the demise of Concord, we’ve lost something in the realm of Transatlantic travel……
On my business flights to Japan they were unconcerned with my walking laps through the aisles (in coach). I had an aisle seat but stood for quite a while looking out a bulkhead window. They even put cups of soda out in the galley and announced that passengers were welcome to come back and get them.
They balanced concern for safety with the need to keep blood flowing in the legs. That was 2017 & 2018. I don’t think there would be an issue with any of those lounges today.

I know girls that would kill for those lashes.
Unless they were wearing glasses. Then those lashes would be a pain in the….
Ashes?
How about the hair?

I’m afraid I don’t know the cat.

I just thought it was fun that Google gave me something that was of no use to me…
As Google preferences ads over information, that happens more times than not…
I don’t know why you wanna be Russian into things.

Sorry, it’s all Greek to me.
They got married in the late 1930s, and to all appearances were very happy together, for the time that they had, so this is probably from that time.
NYC
Looks like a model.
Might have used the ‘Tilt-Shift’ photography technique, or, it may indeed be a model. Things around the docks look too clean, there’s no clutter or vehicles, so probably a model rather than ‘Tilt-Shift’.
Seemed to me it HAD to be a model…. I know they’d be tiny, but I couldn’t imagine a real photo of NY at any hour with no signs of traffic.
There are a few small dots that might be cars… but surely we’d be able to see buses or trucks in the streets, maybe even tiny specks for people.
Most of my search results didn’t say whether or not it was real; some said photo of New York, but most credited Pinterest.
Finally, I found the page on Pinterest, which says “Model of Manhattan grid.”
Puts me in a New York state of mind.
Unquestionably a model. The Intrepid Air/Sea Museum (the carrier at the bottom) has several planes crowding the deck in reality. The ships and boats have no wakes and the liner pulling in would be guided by tugs.
It is a very cool modal.

Ooh! My Wikipedia quote got an “awaiting for approval,” then vanished!
Sometimes that happens when WordPress isn’t telling you that you were surreptitiously logged out.
It says you’re logged in, but if you refresh the page, you’ll see that you’re not.
Forgot to say… it’s the same reason you sometimes get the message that some of your field is invalid, and it won’t even try to post.
I don’t know why one and not the other.
Oh! Thanks for clearing that up…
Sensitive plant. Mimosa pudica.
Fun to touch the tip and watch it close.
That’s what I said (sorta…)
It’s doing it again. 🙁
thanks.
Got everything now!
This way is probably more of a pain, if you’re into saving the links…. but at least you don’t need a host, and the pictures stay here

Blossom! Welcome back! We missed you. At least I did.

He’s probably ±62 now.

What that is, I do not know
I was introduced to “Swallows and Amazons” quite early. I will still take an S&A book to bed for comfort reading!
I don’t know those.
I didn’t like them but my sister did. She read them all and couldn’t understand why I didn’t get into them. I was into Encyclopedia Brown, and in Junior High, Ian Fleming’s James Bond. I owned all the Bond books at one time.
I was mostly talking about books I read before I was maybe 12.
By the time Encyclopedia Brown came along, I was too old.
I, too, though, started on the James Bond books as an adolescent, but my very strict parents wouldn’t let me read them till I was 13.

Oh, it is! Quite quickly.
Yes… I was only asking Steve not to pin it.

I like the audience.
Got it.
Yup!
Save place as yesterday. 😁
too easy?–I think these were for younger readers
Well…. considering that the rabbit is only hiding, but not hidden, yes, I’d say they’re for children.
But as long as they’re fun, who cares.
Besides… some of us are regressing every day 🙄

Oy. I wonder about two things.
I remember those, they were all lounges for first class passengers.
I remember the ads for those; I’ve never been in one.
No way would that be allowed any more.
Imagine a crash in that situation.
