A terrible crossing, 1925

Norway. August 4th.
We had a terrible crossing - I refused all meals for 38 hrs. & lay in a deck chair without moving, for 13 hrs. on Sunday, truly a day of rest.
The glorious scenery more than makes up for it now. This afternoon we drive up this valley in a funny little two-seater trap. Life on board is very frivolous, a band always playing & quite riotous dancing in the evening. I have heard no results of examns. Love F.M.P.

On the Rocks

The companion photograph to the one from yesterday's post.

Afternoon Tea

This week's Sepia Saturday prompt suggests a variety of themes; I'm going with the tourist angle. My image is from an Edwardian album of photographs from holidays in the Isle of Man, the Lake District, Yorkshire and France dating between 1908 and 1910. Some of the photographs are captioned with details of the place and activity but names of the people are not included.

This is the one of a pair of photographs taken in the Isle of Man (possibly in Douglas) and mounted on facing pages of the album.

Original

I can't find an image in my collection that's quite right to illustrate this week's Sepia Saturday theme so here's something completely different.

It's not so much the image that takes my fancy (although the subject looks like a nice, confident young man), it's the written message on the back that does: With best wishes from the original.
