I didn't have any photos of upsidedown people for this week's
Sepia Saturday theme so I went with the railing instead. But then, any photo would have done because we're 'down under' anyway here in Aus.

| Shirley and Mary Alford (somewhere in Adelaide I think) |
 |
| All aboard a ship to somewhere |
 |
| Mum, my siblings and me (on the left), in front of our farm house. All dressed up, so it must have been Sunday. |
 |
| Phil in his 'cage'. There's no way my kids would have been happy about being put in one of these. |
 |
| Mary and friend |
Now you can wander over to the webpage to see what other Sepians have done with the theme.
Yes we are proudly from "Down Under".
ReplyDeleteWhere was the "Mary & Friend" photo taken? It looks like a lovely old home in the background.
Hi Sharon. The photo was taken in Bendigo but I don't know where.
DeleteI used a playpen for my kids, but by then the wooden rails have been replaced with netting. I don't know that they liked it much, but it was a life saver for me when cooking or needing a moment of privacy! Your rail pictures fit the theme nicely.
ReplyDeleteSunday on the fence! I wonder how many get so dressed up now. Great down under shots.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been fun growing up with four siblings. A fine looking family.
ReplyDeleteFunny you brought up the "down under" thing,
ReplyDeleteas it was one of my ideas for this prompt.
I went through the McCord's archives to find
Canadians "down under"...
Nothing...
Pity!!
Then I thought I'd just take a pic of mine and turn it upside down,
but going through my vintage pics, I saw my grandpa goofing around,
and decided to work with that.
Glad you ran with the idea!!
Really cool set of pictures.

A great collection of photographs. It is OK to balance astride most of those sets of railings, but I would draw a line on the ones on the ship.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think of "railings" for the theme, but you have a wonderful collection with clever variations of rails too.
ReplyDeleteA great set of railings pictures. The playpen may have been a lifesaver for Kathy but it nearly did for me before the age of one, when I pulled my newly folded and stacked one on top of me as soon as Mum turned away - and fractured my skull!
