We drove this area on our honeymoon. The horizon was orange from pollution and the valley was full of industrial buildings.

indeed, the difference is startling.

Some things never change. Here is a photo I took in the Fall of 2011:

Thanks for sharing your photo yellojkt. It's good to know that the scenery still inspires after all these years.

somewhere along the line someone identified this this pic. apparently this is a known artist from that area, a man that was known for his "flamboyant" dress. i dont recall his name.

Hmmm, looks like that 'man' is wearing a dress- could this be a female painter?

Thanks for the tip! We’ll also change the source data so that we can keep the information we show here in Flickr and in our own catalog ( http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/catalog.html) in sync

Yes if you click on the All Sizes button you can see its a woman because her legs are exposed at the calf as if she has hose on.

She's still there , it's not a woman , it's actually Dave the Girlie Mchuge. Well known in those parts.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called The Painter Abroad, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
