:previous: odinthor looks tall in that photo.
If I were a betting man I'd say he's around 6' 3.5" :shrug: am I close? |
blush Thanks, Hoss! :cheers:

I wonder if Pamela Greyson is still stealing other people's copyrighted photos and sharing them without permission.

ocean-liners A quick trip down to Long Beach for Feb. 11, 1982 The Spruce Goose arrives at Long Beach. The huge Hughes plane [1947]was about to squeeze into the Dome . I'm sure most of you know that's the old Queen Mary [1936] at the right. Notice that her aft decks are crowded with onlookers. She's still there but the Goose is long gone. |
Here's an amazing snapshot of Los Angeles Street decorated for the 1932 Olympics.
Found on Ebay $69.99 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/CgjsBb.jpg Ebay back https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/kbQrQz.jpg I can't resist a closer look. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/eNipBv.jpg WOW! _ |

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7809/...86969ffa_o.png ...Anthony C. Meehleis Reinforcing Steel It's a pretty neat shot. I think Hoss is spot-on with his estimation of the location. I wish I knew more about color correction to get it looking really top-notch. Here's the Berke at Second and SBHA, across from the (back of the) JP Miller house at 201. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4832/...babcec6f_o.png As long as we're on the subject of storms, here's something I just screengrabbed off the LA Times, 16 Feb 1937: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7868/...a2834185_o.png Unusual view of the stairs adjacent the B'way tunnel. |

Coincidentally I was looking at this film last night- Circus performers arriving by airplane (possible at the recently discussed mid-town airfield?). https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7908/...1a0b0f4d_h.jpg |
