View from the tower. And burnt bras.

 One more.

Nuchatlitz Inlet, from Ferrer Point radar tower, looking north.

(Note for family: Dad took many photos including women with short, curly hair in the foreground, always facing away from the camera. I don't know what Mom thought of this; she wore her hair pulled tightly back into a roll at the back of the neck, a pre-war style. In the 1960s, she cut it short and let it curl naturally. And burnt her bra, a child of the times. In the 1970s, in the era of the granny dress, she toured Europe, braless, in a dress sold as a nightgown. I bet her grandkids never knew that!)

Una foto más. La vista, mirando al norte, desde la torre de radar en Ferrer Point. Se ve la ensenada de Nuchatlitz y lo que es hoy en dia el Parque Provincial Nuchatlitz.

(Una nota de interés para la  familia: Mi papá sacaba muchas fotos donde incluía a mujeres con el pelo corto, rizado. No sé lo que pensaba mi mamá de esto. Ella llevaba el pelo bien estirado para atrás, enrollado en la nuca, un estilo que venía de los años antes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En la década de los sesenta, se cortó el pelo, dejándolo caer libre, con sus chinitos naturales. Y se quemó su sostén; era hija de sus tiempos. En los años 70, la época del vestido "abuelita", viajó por Europa, sin sostén, en un vestido que se había vendido como bata de noche. ¡Se me hace que sus nietos no sabían esto!)

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
