I'm with Mike: I'm not sure the people are dead, either. It's too bad someone didn't write something on the back!<br /><br />Well, that film clip is gruesome, grotesque, sorrowful.... It's hard to imagine people could romanticize the horrible and tragic death of the horses.<br /><br />But your own photo is beautiful. I love how the young lady's hands are resting on the shoulders of both adults. Are they parents or grandparents? I see lots of love in that photo.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36955857.post-19399973207543412932015-10-10T17:48:39.606-07:002015-10-10T17:48:39.606-07:00I don't think anyone in the theme photo are ac...I don't think anyone in the theme photo are actually dead. The peculiar quality of the man's eyes may be because his pupils are blue or grey, colors which early photography chemicals could not pick up. Nonetheless your Canadian film is a good match for the creepiness. I like the ladies hats in your great grandparent's photo.
