These Madrid street kids are upside down, the wrong way up, and all over the place. That's what happens when you place kids next to the slightest excuse for a piece of acrobatic equipment. So for Sepia Saturday 177 - post your posts on or around Saturday 18th May 2013 - we want you to search out your old photos of kids, or acrobats, or people who are upside down or the wrong way around .... or whatever. This 1908 photograph comes from the George Eastman Collection which has been made available by the wonderful Flickr Commons initiative.
But before you start turning somersaults and letting the blood rush to your head, you might want to have a look at what is coming next on Sepia Saturday. Here is our usual peep around the corner of time.
178 : Sepia Saturday faces up to the challenge of featuring the face. It doesn't matter if it is young or old, male or female, black or white .... as long as it is sepia.
179 : In the past on Sepia Saturday we have had cute dogs and cuddly cats, but here is a chance to bring out your birds, beasts and reptiles. Or caravans, or ladders, or ....
All that is in the future. For Sepia Saturday 177 just turn your collection of old photographs upside down and see what emerges.
Lovely photograph. Just loved it so much. :)
ReplyDeleteI have some children playing, but not upside down.
ReplyDeleteBlogger was acting a little strange and also changed my font size.
One child and a railing or two.

Children yes, but mostly the right way up.
ReplyDeleteIn a way this was two easy. But it lets me combine three short stories into one.
ReplyDeleteBoys, Boys, and more Boys.
No children but upside down in more ways than one.

ReplyDeleteMy post is early this week, but I am determined to play a full part in Sepia this week after a couple of weeks when I have been on the sepia margins. I have a nice picture of .... somebody or other.
ReplyDeleteLast week when most everyone posted about school, I didn't, but it's school days for me this week.

ReplyDeleteEver wonder what kids are thinking about during their class portrait? I do too...
ReplyDeleteI knew of a couple photos I want to share, took me some time to find them. Now to scan, post, etc...well I will be up sometime in the next 5 hours....it's still Friday here. Fences for me.

It is all child's play.

ReplyDeleteThere are some children in my picture if you look closely
ReplyDeleteI did it, turned a pic into a sepia from a couple of years ago of my grands playing around!
ReplyDeleteI've been away for a few weeks taking care of my sick hubby, but I'm back!
ReplyDeleteGardening is my excuse for absence. Loved this photo.
ReplyDeletePublished the blog several days ago then forgot to post the link here!
ReplyDeleteI came close to passing on this week's prompt, but then suddenly remembered (and managed to find) this photo of my daughter hanging out at the National Railway Museum at York many years ago.
