Wartime Helsinki. The boy's standing in front of a sign that says "bomb shelter" in Finnish & Swedish. #photography #blackandwhitephotography #historicalphotography

Black and white slightly sepia-toned picture of a teenage boy dressed in a suit and hat. He's got one hand in his pocket and what looks like a cigarette in his mouth, smiling a sort of a wry smile.

He's standing in front of a brick building and there's a wrought iron gate next to him, and behind his head there's a partially obscured bilingual sign that reads "[vä]estönsuoj[a]" in Finnish, "[s]kyddsr[um]" in Swedish (obscured letters marked with brackets)

David B. Woodbury's "Military Bridge" encapsulates the struggle and resilience of Civil War soldiers against nature's might. The serene beauty contrasts with the precariousness of their endeavor. How does this image evoke feelings of both serenity and tension?

Photograph taken in Thurles around 1940. Why was the road so wide? So that cattle/sheep could be driven to market, maybe? Another reason?
