About Me

My photo
Adalbert is a forum for me, to post ephemera, photography, poetry, occasional travel notes, and various spontaneous motions. Cover photo: Parsonage where my great-grandfather spent his early years. Taken near Liegnitz, Silesia, ca. 1870. The "xothique" portion of the web address is a nod to Clark Ashton Smith's fictional continent of Zothique.

The Choppers


A sense of a vaudeville or early cinema comedy team holds about this one.  A female analogue of Olsen and Johnson, or other slapstick teams who never metamorphosed into icons.  On the Columbia River?

  1. Great photo, you're right, it could be a comedy scene. There's also a great sense of hard work and fresh air - a healthy combination :).

  2. Those kind of manual tasks are alien to many of us today, unfortunately.
