    This could be in the Southern US or even the west somewhere. It shows just how rustic and hard life was with no machines to clear the land and no electricity. The house looks abandoned though.

    This scene has a little Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth in it.

    The house makes me think of the old Green Acres TV show. (It can still make me laugh when I catch it on TV Land.)

    Love this house. In NC where I grew up you can still found old abandoned buildings and houses in the middle of old fields and woods still. No one painted their houses then due to depression times. My great parents house used to look like this the last time I saw it in the 1980s.

    so why are these slides photographed with the sinar, rather than scanned? They look like they could all do with some saturation.
    I know they're old photos, but imagine what could be done to remember the time and how colorful it truly was

    Possibly because a 'slide duplicator' is the native format of slides. Light is suppose to go through a slide once, not through the slide to be reflected back through the slide THEN recorded.

    Also, for a slide to be scanned it needs removed from the slide holder. I know these slides LOOK as though they have been removed from their card but that is something we can not be sure of unless we see cog holes.

    Also a slide duplicator allows the photographing of film left in strips, or that have been mounted in cards, or unmounted single frames.

    I have downloaded numerous TIFFs and I am impressed at the clarity and sharpness.

    Also, ALL these slides need doctored? ALL need more 'saturation'? That makes me want to laugh! Hate to tell you but not everything is colorful. Not all grass is Kelly Green. Or mayhaps your monitor needs calibrated.

    I've looked throught he first 89 pages of this archive and I have to say that overall I have been reminded of the fullness and richness of transparency films.

    Looks like a turkey buzzard on the roof. We get flocks of them in Southern Ohio

    wonder if the photographer was at all fearful of the hermit within
