Glad you liked the photos, & thanks for following here!<br /><br />Subby: That top photo does look like something you might see in a film. He actually took two of the parkway overpass; the other one's pretty interesting as well. I'm also glad for the info I have about the photos!<br /><br />Martin: Yes, for all his inner demons I think he did love life more than the opposite. I certainly don't have his mechanical aptitude, which was formidable, tho I did a fair amount of woodworking &, as I like to call it, barnyard carpentry. My dad was also a gifted story teller, so maybe I inherited that!<br /><br />Ginger: Your comment about the old green rowboat made me remember the old green rowboat my dad built--it was eventually washed away when our property flooded in the late 70s following the remnants of a hurricane coming up the Connecticut River into Vermont; & that memory sparked another Helix poem, so thanks! <br /><br />& thanks, of course, for your "coment"!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-66295398277769048312010-02-21T01:20:46.386-08:002010-02-21T01:20:46.386-08:00Oh I did enjoy them.

I suppose the wild blue yonder works equally as well for the sea.<br /><br />Interesting that the World's Fair of 1939 would be looking to the future. I wonder what the exhibits were like.
