Just ... The Thing.
No info on the slide (as usual) except a processing date of 1991. Thanks.
But, I think it's a piece of Seljuk Glass, maybe this one.

I have a bunch of similar slides in this set...clearly a family vacation, visiting one of the early colonial towns. Georgetown, or Williamsburg, or whatever.
I can only imagine what the costumed host is thinking, especially as this was in the early sixties.
Bonus - So, those kids who torture ants with sun + magnifying glass. What do they do when they grow older?
It's March, and here in Slideville, it's turned chilly again.
All the more reason for some Schnapps unt some Spongecake.

No idea what this is, and I suspect I don't WANT to know what this is.
It's from the Medical Slides box, and ...well. I suppose it could be a Album Cover for an LP by Throbbing Gristle. Maybe.
Bonus - Also on a theme of Yeuch. Aphex Twin's Windowlicker is 25 years old.
Devil's Lake is a lake in the South Range of the Baraboo Range, about two miles south of Baraboo, Wisconsin, in Sauk County, Wisconsin, United States. It has no surface outlets, so by some definitions, it is endorheic; however, it possibly drains by underground channels into the Baraboo River, which would make the lake cryptorheic.
Bonus - Cats that sailed on ships until the mid-20th century to catch rodents had passports signed with their paw prints
The Seventies were a different time.
It didn't matter if it was a bright but chilly February, when Uncle Bob visited your mum, you want outside to play with your favourite box.

You Got It.
First image is what you would see .... as a human. Yup. Very Boring.
Second Version is the same image, as viewed by a Crawshaw's Salamander. That's an odd little amphibian, which uniquely, sees images not in RedYellowBlue, but in MauveWhitePaisleyLemon.
Bonus - How many times must you fold a paper to reach the Moon?
There's quite a few pictures of this pool, in various states of empty/fullness.
This one ... is today's.
Sorry, I'm not very talkative today - Overnight, my right know seems to have decided to experience extreme pain for any motions.
Bonus - Remember - There was no CGI 81 years ago...
One of the delights of this here slide-collecting lark is finding images like this. Just a quick captured moment in a life.
What a great image.
