This slide is a Plastichrome Super-Slide, manufactured in Boston. Note: the heavy pink hue noticable on this week’s images of Vancouver is native to the slide. I usually keep colour correction to an absolute minimum but have processed these a little more to bring out detail that would otherwise be lost.

Autumn tree lines
USA, c. 1960s. Location unknown.
This will be the last shot from the USA for a while – next week View From Other Side is heading for the chillier climes of Canada for a month. I’ve gathered together some beautiful commerical scenic slides. Expect each one to be accompanied by more information than the slides so far, which unfortunately were bought loose in a bag, with little information.
I hope you’ve enjoyed the highways, parades, baseball games, coastlines, art shows and dinner parties. As always, I would love to hear feedback and information on the images.
