Watching the FERRY

Really, I think the title just about sums up what's going on here. Even enlarged I cannot tell what state the license plates are for, but the one does appear to have "35" on it. So I'm guess we're talking around 1935 for this shot.

I haven't been on a ferry in a long time. I don't know of any in California anymore. We have bridges. Lots of bridges. It's always a challenge to figure out which roads to take to go around the San Francisco Bay so as to not have to pay a toll. It can be done.

ROAD TRIP to a Wedding

Another vernacular photograph purchased at an antique store.

A lovely image with only the following information written on the back:

Ozzie & Betty June 1935 on way to Lemmon to get married

I don't know, but to me they look like 1930s movie stars. It's hard to think of it as a casual snapshot. It's all so perfect.

1935, the Depression. 7 years before we entered the war. What did the future hold for these two? We'll never know. Like movie stars in fictional stories, we can make up any fate we choose for these two.

Another Sepia Saturday submission.
