The Postcard Look

The River Bure at Horning, Norfolk. Re-edit of an old photo.

I was walking down Spadina Avenue when suddenly a postcard broke out.

I finally managed to get a shot of the Normal School tower with sun on it. For more about the London Normal School and normal schools generally click the PiP at upper left. Spring arrived early here but is now taking its own sweet time about getting to summer.

Admiralty Extension (1905, Leeming and Leeming), seen from Horse Guards Parade, London.

So here I am on the Foundry Bridge at the foot of Prince of Wales Road in Norwich, eh, the one that crosses to Thorpe Road and the train station, and I'm thinking I'll get some photos of boats passing under the bridge. And here comes a houseboat, with a girl in the front hatch looking straight ahead, rapt in the scenery! What an opportunity! So as the boat approaches I line up the shot, but when the boat passes underneath me I don't see the top of her head but her looking back up at me. So I take that shot -- it's not like I was gonna get 'em to come back, eh, so I could get the other shot. Anyway, I hope someone that observant has taken up photography by now.
