We’ve had this it similar before, and I searched it.
I’m too late today to search again… I had a busy (for me) week, now over.
Anyway I forget what is called, but it’s a structure built deep into the hot desert, with a well at the bottom, where people (mostly women) go to fill big clay pots with cool water, and can also rest in the niches, out of the sun.
I couldn’t believe they were standing there, so i googled it…
Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland hadn’t erupted for 815 years till it produced a lava flow from March till September of 2021, and several shorter periods since..
It’s very near Reykjavic and attracts many tourists. Because it’s very slow and doesn’t produce smoke it’s allowed, even though the surrounding area is rather treacherous in itself, due to step climbs, ice, etc.
However Wikipedia says
“The large number of tourists visiting the eruption sites is also a concern to authorities, especially under-equipped tourists and those who do not heed official closures during inclement weather or new lava flows.
As of the second eruption in 2022, there is little risk of lava flows blocking roads or reaching settlements, but this could change if the Meradalir valleys fill with lava or another fissure opens up in a different area.”
Oh yeah. I remember Stuckeys. We don’t have them here in Oregon. A few years back I did a favor for a customer in Atlanta, and he asked what he could do in return. I told him to ship me a pecan log…he sent a whole box.
One of my late cats, Chico (Pewter Persian), walked across the slab I had just finished laying for my storage shed. I signed the prints with her name and the date. She was not impressed that I washed her paws off with the hose to get the concrete out of her foot fur though…..
In 1904, women from that age up wore their skirts anywhere from trailing on the ground to barely covering their ankles, the latter especially with boots.
If you can see any bit of stocking, she’s a schoolgirl. It was immodest otherwise.
If you can see a few inches of boot or thick pantaloon (never the frilly underwear type) on a grown woman, it was almost always one of the exceptions… A bicycle or sports outfit, including a swimming dress, a hard-working maid, or a pioneer type (which caused consternation among the fashionable anyway.)
Few of those would appear at the fair, unless maybe there was more tolerance for pioneer-style dress on women in Canada… But they would be drab and homespun looking.
Skirts didn’t rise above the ankle till after WWI, and even then with protest by many…. In fact they fell again for a couple of years in the early 20s.
It’s the midway at the 1904 Canadian National Exhibition, in Toronto.
For 10 cents, visitors could witness “Champion Lady Swimmer of the World” Cora Beckwith, who was “living, sleeping, and eating” in a shallow tank filled with four feet of water nine hours a day.
It’s totally unpredictable as to how many hours it stays up before being removed.
From the comments and time stamps, it was posted 8 hours ago, still here 3 hours ago, and gone 2 hours ago… So maybe up for about 5 hours. But some have disappeared sooner and one, the sleepy basset hound, lasted at least 12 hours.

Goof.

There’s a version that’s a frequent Windows wallpaper posting.
I haven’t been on Windows for awhile…. Using an Android tablet and phone.

That’s my Kiki.

Found it immediately.
I’m still looking
Ooh wow, man, I think I found GOD!
Forward, backwards, vertical in both directions, plus what I could do of diagonal…

Call me a pessimist, but that would seem like an unsafe place to be.

I remember billboards that advertised those pecan logs–it was their signature item

I really do hope those tracks were left alone.
I thought the same thing. 🙂
just what I thought—a pooch who would be long gone would forever be immortalized

I hate neghbor.
what was your old moniker?—‘sorry I can’t spell’ or something like that
I love my spellcheck.
What neighbor do?
Some of these are spelled differently in British English, too
Try remembering the correct spellings when you’re writing to your American and English friends!
I never change for either. I don’t expect British friends to change for me.
Most of my spelling is American, of course, but I learned to spell a couple of words from English friends in Libya when I was 10 and never shook them.
Got in trouble at school for them later… bit ise still looks better than ize to my eyes. I just can’t write “recognize” in longhand.
Spellcheck corrects everything to American though.
Toronto-1900
Skirts are getting shorter, i see. Much smarter than dragging them through the dirt.
I’m guessing that it’s some kind of fair.
Those shorter skirts are on girls under 15 or 16.

Probably the CNE — Canadian National Exhibition.
Yep.

He’s standing on something to make him taller.
50’s fridge with a built-in Admiral radio
just like factory air!
Where’s the ash tray?
.
Was it a three hour tour?
Yow, Zippy! That’ll renew your acquaintance with lunch.
yet another experiment using Ucube
I see it.
It’s gone.
on to the next image program
Yup
It’s right here in living color, just as it is above.
I don’t see it. When I try opening in a new tab I get “Oops something went wrong”

Like Sgt. Schultz, I see nothing.
Did you repost it? Cos it came back.
Great video selection today
thanks for the feedback!
