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.
Dear Sepians, This is the last of my postcards as this is the end of postcard month here on Sepia Saturday. This week our theme image shows a group of soldiers from the early twentieth century. Soldiers, sailors, airmen or any military group would fit in with the theme, or any picture postcard would. Whatever you choose just post your posts on or around Saturday 31st August 2024 and add a link to the list below. And, don't forget, our September theme is Highs and Lows - here are the first two theme images so you can start planning your submissions. Best regards, Alan
Dear Sepians, We continue with our postcard month here on Sepia Saturday and this week we are having a bit of a laugh. Most of us are familiar with these types of cartoons - these days you see them all the time on your social media feeds - and back in the early twentieth century they were an integral part of that pre-digital social media craze - the picture postcard. Share your laughs and share your smiles by posting an old image on or around Saturday 24th August 2024 and adding a link to the list below. And before the smile wears off your face, take a look at what is around the corner on Sepia Saturday. As ever, Alan
Dear Sepians,
Hope you are all well. I'm having a lovely time here on holiday at Alexandra Park in Oldham. If you would like to join me you can share an old image - either on the them of "Postcard Memories" or off theme on whatever you choose - by posting a post on or around Saturday 3 August 2024 and adding a link to the list below. And as August is postcard month here on Sepia Saturday, here are some others to keep in mind for the coming weeks.
Best wishes, Alan
Throughout July we have been on the sepia water and this week is your last chance to get out those old photographs of seaside, lakeside and rivers. Our theme photo this week features a woman in a rubber dinghy at Ostend back in the 1930s. You don't have to go to Ostend, nor do you have to get in a dinghy, all we are asking is that you share your old photographs on or around Saturday 27th July 2024 and add a link to the list below. And whilst you are at the seaside / lakeside / riverside you might want to buy a picture postcard so you can be ready for our next monthly theme - postcard memories.
