Title: A Day in New England
Date: September 1947

A group of colorful New England characters pose for photographer Toni Frissell, capturing a snapshot of rural life and community spirit.

The photograph depicts a variety of people from different age groups, showcasing the rich tapestry of New England. Locations included are likely rural areas within the states, although specific locations are not mentioned.

Toni Frissell (1907-1988) was an American photographer known for her work capturing everyday life and American culture. Born in Massachusetts, she began her career as a photographer during the Great Depression and went on to photograph celebrities, politicians, and ordinary people from various walks of life.

The image depicts two individuals outdoors on a sunny day. The person on the left is smiling, with curly blonde hair and wearing a dark blue t-shirt paired with denim jeans. They are holding onto a basket containing lobsters or crabs.

The individual on the right appears to be an older man wearing a beige hat, light-colored long-sleeve shirt, khaki pants, and sunglasses pushed up towards his forehead. He is standing behind the basket of crustaceans, also smiling at the camera with hands resting lightly on its edge.

Both individuals are seated beside what seems like water or a boat, suggesting they may have been involved in fishing activities. The background shows trees under clear blue skies, indicating pleasant weather conditions for outdoor activities.

Such a kind person: Chawa the #donkey.

The back of a child regarding St Nicolas, an donkey and the Chrischtkindl. The actors are in costumes (more in my post before). The very kind and beautoful Donkey Chawa was the star of the day.

The donkey with Rüpelz (a troll-like character in fur) in front of a half-timbered barn, part of our museum.

In front of the outhouse (historical, museum) and the manure pump, a very kind grey donkey looks at a child (not visible), St. Nicolas and Chrischtkindl beside.
Yes, of course I stroked the donkey and spoke to the nice grey lady. Like most of the children.

“We had other rabbits, too, little gray cottontails that gamboled in the fields. We did not look after those, nor for the most part did we eat them. They had to come up with their own food, they had to work out their own romantic arrangements, and they were not protected from predators by a sturdy hutch. On the other hand they didn't get taken away to be butchered and packaged.

"If they had been given the choice, would they have swapped their circumstances?

"What brings this to mind is the state of our country and the assumptions that supposedly thinking people are making and the choices they make.”

A rustic scene of a dry, golden brown paddock in Waitpinga, South Australia. The center features a wire fence and gate, which is decorated with a large, antique wooden wagon wheel leaning against the timber crossbar.

Overhanging branches with eucalyptus leaves frame the top right of the image. A line of green trees and an overcast sky are visible in the distance.

Delicate grass seed heads rise sharply in focus against a soft, blurred background. The foreground features two prominent golden-brown seed stalks with fine, feathery structures catching warm sunlight—one tall and dense on the left, another slender and ascending toward the center. Bright yellow-green grass blades emerge from the lower left and right edges. Behind them, numerous out-of-focus tan and cream-colored seed heads create a hazy middle ground. The background reveals indistinct mountain shapes in muted gray-brown tones beneath a pale blue sky that gradients from deeper blue at the top to lighter tones near the horizon. The shallow depth of field isolates the sharp foreground detail while dissolving the background into soft bokeh.
