Sepia Saturday 742 : 21st September 2024
We are having a month of highs and lows here on Sepia Saturday and this week is a high. We are high in the sky building a bridge over the River Tyne in Newcastle in the United Kingdom. If you want to follow the theme you could go with bridges, with rivers, or with working high in the sky. You can always choose to ignore the theme and go with any old photo you want. All we ask is that you post your post on or around Saturday 21st September 2024 and add a link to the list below. If you want to know what is on the other side of the sepia bridge - here's a look into the future.

Sepia Saturday 741 : 14th September 2024
We are travelling through the highs and lows of September here on Sepia Saturday and our particular take on the theme this week is a low in several senses of the word. There is nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia here and there, nothing wrong with the good old days .... but sending men (and women and in many cases, children) deep underground to dig coal and other minerals for long hours in dangerous conditions for meagre wages could never be seen as one of the high points of human achievement. Our theme photograph dates back to 1905 and shows the No 3 Galt Mine in Alberta Canada where coal was extracted from the earth in huge quantities. We are asking you to extract your old photographs from the bowels of your collection and share them with other lovers of old photographs on or around Saturday 14th September 2024 and add a link to the list below. Before you resume your mining activities, here is a reminder for what you should be looking for next.

Sepia Saturday 740 : 7th September 2024
It's a new month and a new theme - highs and lows. You can celebrate the theme however you want or ignore it entirely, the choice is yours. Our theme image for this week features a couple of Alpine skiers from almost a century ago, feeling high on the top of a mountain. Why not join them by posting your Sepia Saturday contribution on or around Saturday 7th September and leaving a link on the list below. And before you go off-piste, have a look what other highs and lows we have this month.
