Treasures of the forest - Funnel chanterelles

Some of our September favourites - tasty Funnel chenterelles ... :-)

The German tugboat Karl in the early 1960s

The port of Hamburg tugboat Karl in action, probably in the early 1960s. My colorization of an image in the M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark archive. The museum does not give a date, but the ship in the background seems to indicate that the photo by an unknown photographer was taken in the early 1960s. The Hamburg shipyard Johannes Ölkers built the ship in the early 1960s for the

 P & A shipping company. 

Three legendary yachts in the Solent

Three legendary yachts competing during the Cowes week on August 28, 1934. In the middle HMY Britannia, king George V:s yacht, on the left Shamrock V and on the right Westward. Of the three only Shamrock is preserved.

The photo by NP - here with my colorization - is in the archive of M/S Maritime Museum

 of Denmark in Elsinore.

On the way to church in 1913. A traditional wedding cortege in the Swedish speaking area of Ostrobothnia in Finland. My colorization of a photo by Gösta Carlsson. The original is in the Svenska Litteratursällskapet archive.

Finnish construction workers (ab. 1920)

Construction workers in Finland (Ostrobothnia) posing in photographer Erik Hägglund´s studio probably about 1920. The man on the right is Johan Paulin from Vörå, who had returned from America, where he had worked as a navvy for six years. The hat is from his time in the U.S.

The original picture - here shown with my processing and partial colorization - is in the Svenska Litteratursällskapet archive in Helsinki.
