Today's picture features Admiral Reynolds, who is sporting a fine example of facial hair. I feel his facial hair compliments his uniform and stance nicely.

Coney Island

Welcome to Amusement Park Week here at OPOD. With spring here, and summer around the corner, it is time for us to start thinking about summer entertainment. Back in the day no place was more popular than Coney Island. The picture above is from Coney Island, and was taken in 1904. You can see the children could take rides in goat-drawn carriages. The look like quiet fancy rigs.

Evicted Sharecroppers

This is a picture of another group of Sharecroppers who were part of the massive sharecropper eviction in 1939 in New Madrid, County Missouri. All the pictures this week were taken at the same spot at the side of the highway. From the picture, it looks like dozens of families had been evicted at the same time.

Naval Airships

Today's picture is from 1943 and shows a US Navy dirigible base on the east coast. Many do not realize that these airships were used in World War II for surveillance. These vessels had many unique capabilities, and I find it unfortunate that the technology was all but abandoned after the second world war.
