WOW!!! What a lovely photograph of the mother and her son. I could look at that all day and marvel at the image. A poet in his finery with the loving mother by his side, dressed in their day to day clothes and posing for the gentleman/woman with the camera. Look at the hat on the ground, at the weather beaten skin on their faces and hands, the long strong fingers of the man and the well worn shoes on the pair of them? Magic!

Swordscookie And her wedding ring has become very loose on her fingers as they've shrunk with age... Did check to see if we have a copy of that poem in our collections, but if we do, it's not individually catalogued. Maybe in our collections of street poems and ballads.

On Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Brigid's_Well it says that a wandering poet once wrote - "On St Brigid’s Eve, as night fell, My mother and I went to Saint Brigid’s Well, Where the candles do burn and the great walls do shine on the graves of the dead and the vaults of O’Brien" Could those be the words of our Poet friend above? It would be great to find out and get the entire text.

An early and rather crude enclosed bus, I could swear I've seen a photo of a similar bus with the date 1905-1907 somewhere....

Dear Flickr viewers,

The reason people don't smile in early photographs is because they had to stay perfectly still for long exposure times, and in the studio, their neck was held by an uncomfortable clamp.

Also in this case, life on the goldfields was hard and often short

Auch wenn dieses Paar nicht sehr glücklich aussieht, so kann man sich gut vorstellen, dass sie wesentlich länger bei einem Shooting gesessen sind, als in unserer digitalisierten Zeit. Dennoch ein sehr stimmungsvolles Bild, das viel über die damalige Zeit aussagt. Sehr schön.
