If human pyramids aren't your thing, perhaps a sand castle, moat or paddling pool are more to your style and better suited to your engineering skills.

Swan Ride Anyone?

 Swan Ride on Wesley Lake, Ocean Grove - Asbury Park, New Jersey

Tichnor linen postcard, circa 1940s.

With the beginning of summer upon us, anyone for a Swan ride during summer vacation? Pack the bags for Asbury Park - Ocean Grove, New Jersey, circa 1940s. This may be a bit too sedate for today's thrill seekers. Perhaps bungee jumping instead.

Optical Allusions, circa 1910

"Optical Allusions", circa 1910s, real photo postcard

undisclosed location, Azo stamp box. Click image for larger view.

While no illusions are involved, the man and woman in the middle of this real photo postcard appear to be checking each other out by use of early twentieth century "looking glasses". He feigns viewing her through his telescope while she appears to have reversed the binoculars, looking through the large lens end of the instrument thus giving him that "far away look", no doubt. The woman at right stands at attention, shaded by her broad rim hat, observing these country shenanigans.
