Misc. 1930's (f)

Last one of this set of miscellaneous shots. Its almost certainly at the bungalow. I love this photo. I don't know if it's posed or not, but there is a beautfiul 'balance' to it. Is the man fishing? With a wheelbarrow??

Yes, it's at the bungalow. In Minnesota they do ice fishing. It's a little known fact, but the fish here in the Ontelaunee were so big that people had to land them with a wheelbarrow..... Or maybe they were getting sand and gravel and rocks to do some cement or pathway work around the new bungalow. The culvert has no tree growth around it, so it had to be long ago, when the road above it was pretty new. (That road was concreted in the 1920s. Bungalow property bought around 1932-33.)

It almost has a "posed" feel to it, although it would be a pain to pose that way, and have to wait until my Dad climbed the hill from which he took this photo.
