Anyone have any idea what sort of boat he might be steering? And I'm guessing he's actually holding part of the braking system.

The Boys of SUMMER
Summer isn't officially here, but the weather outside would beg to differ. And this week's Sepia Saturday image has that wonderful carefree summer feeling to it.
The strange photo below is my response. I actually have never been able to figure out if this is a double or triple exposure. There's so much going on in front of the young fellas standing by the river. Someone flies through the air while someone below takes a running stance about to charge towards the photographer. Heatstroke. That's what caused this image. No other explanation. Someone forgot to advance the film.
Saddened to hear of the passing of one of our fellow Sepians. Thanks to the net Barbara's hard work will live on.

On a SUMMER DAY…You Might Cross from One Season to Another
For those of us in the US this weekend we celebrate Labor Day. The first Monday of every September is a national holiday. Sadly we've strayed from the initial intent. Instead of celebrating the hard workers who built this country we now celebrate ostentatious wealth and the handful of people who now pull all the strings.
Shouldn't businesses be closed on such a holiday allowing workers to actually spend some time with family? Apparently not since the newspapers are filled with advertising for Labor Day sales.
So here's to the folks who must work next Monday, many at minimum wage. I'm sure they'd rather spend the day with family and friends having a picnic in the shade of a big tree along a gently flowing river.

Labor Day is also an unofficial bridge between summer and fall. Though technically summer doesn't end until later in September, the Labor Day holiday is always the last hurrah. Kids are back to school, workers are remembering their summer vacations, and Christmas decorations start showing up in stores. Wait, I think Christmas decorations started a few months ago.
This is my submission for this weeks Sepia Saturday theme, bridges.

The PEOPLE GATHERED to see A BOAT
It's a boat. A nice looking boat. But what boat? Where was this boat? What is the story of this boat? I have not found anything about it online. No other photos looking like it. Hopefully someone has an idea of where we can search next.

And the photo in its reconstructed completeness. A day in the park with the band and a boat.

This is actually a very worn negative and no matter how much I enlarge it I can't bring in the boat details any clearer. It is what it is and we just have to enjoy it and wonder.

"I'm a tellin' ya Jake, it was a big one. Could a swallowed me whole."
"Yeah, sure Pete. Pull my other leg."
"I'm not kiddin'. I fought it for over an hour, nearly pulled me into the old Muddy."
"Whatever you say Pete."
"Dang nabbit! I've got that photograph around here somewheres. You just wait. You gonna be eaten them words."
"Well, while you're up would you get me another beer?"
"No I won't get you no beer! I want you sober when you see this photo of me with that...dang nabbit, where'd I put them photos? Mabel, you seen my photos of the fish?"
"What fish Pete?"
"You know exactly what fish I'm talkin' bout."
"Oh, ummmmm...aren't they in your drawer?"
"No they ain't in my drawer."
"Well, then I don't know. I really don't. That's the last place I saw them."
"I swear to you Jake, there's a picture of me with that fish. Huge thing."
"Uh huh."
"Here's your beer."
"Thanks. What's for dinner tonight?"
"What do you think?"
