1940 St. Paul Winter Sports Carnival Real Photo Post Card by Vinnie DeVille Via Flickr: Vintage real photo post card from the St. Paul Winter Sports Carnival. I did a little research and was unable to find what sport requires a participant to dress like the Tin Man, complete with an axe, from the Wizard of Oz. This found photograph is from the private collection of an unknown and/or unknowing art collector. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!

Old Man of the Mountains in Franconia, New Hampshire.

The Old Man of the Mountains was a famous natural rock formation located in Franconia Notch State Park in New Hampshire. It was a distinctive profile of a man’s face, created by a series of granite ledges and boulders. This iconic landmark was a symbol of New Hampshire and appeared on the state’s quarter and license plates.

Sadly, this great stone face collapsed in 2003, due to erosion and weathering. Despite its loss, it remains a significant part of New Hampshire’s history and identity, and efforts were made to commemorate it, including a memorial site and a viewing area at Franconia Notch State Park. #newhampshire #rppc #whitemountains #oldmanofthemountain #Franconia #vintagepostcards
