    Why would you want to climb way up on that bail of hay? And couldn't that be a bad place to park if a strong wind came from the opposite direction?
  • Edwin said:
    It is a great place to get naughty.

    The ladder may still be in place from the process of making the haystack. A well-made, evenly shaped haystack, with the hay firmly packed into place from the ground up, could withstand most winds without damage. I am curious about the oblong shape of this haystack. The shape is unlike the round haystacks that were usually made inside a large cage . Yet, the sides of this haystack are quite straight and it's very tall so if it was done freeform, it's a masterpiece.

    And here I thought they were putting the finishing touches on the country drive-in theater :) There are enough bulges here and there that I'd believe it was free-form - what strikes this city-boy's eyes is that is a lot of hay to have stacked outside without any cover?
  • Genevieve Netz said:
    I'm a generation younger than this photo, but I grew up on a ranch in northern Nebraska where we made haystacks. The haystacks were kept outside, and they were shaped to shed water. If they were used during the first winter after they were made, rotting of the hay from moisture was minimal. It wouldn't have been practical to keep all the hay inside because such a great quantity of hay was harvested each year to see the cattle through the long winter. I think this was probably true in 1940 in Colorado also. Also, keep in mind that the annual rainfall isn't that much in Colorado. The main reason to keep hay inside is to avoid water damage.

Visitors in front of Horn's Cars of Yesterday in Sarasota, Florida

    It's now called the "Sarasota Classic Car Museum," and the center of the building facade is essentially unchanged from this mid-1950s photo.

    I guess nothing changes - taxi drivers are dodgy. Public transport should have priority over cars. A taxi did a U-turn in front of a tram I was on and it was a write off. I took some photos: www.flickr.com/photos/furphy/213015383/ and the taxi www.flickr.com/photos/furphy/213015543 -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)

    For admirers of Sam Hood's photos, there is a book - Sydney Exposures, Through the eyes of Sam Hood & his studio 1925 - 1950, [probably] published by the State Library of NSW,
  • State Library of New South Wales said:
    Yes - this book was published by us and was written by our curator of photograhs, Alan Davies. If you are looking for a location of this book near you, you can use this link on World Cat.

    We have trams near me and there are still collisions with cars & people - still not looking.
