Twin Islands from "Bald Peak Club"

I worked at Bald Peak CC when I was a kid. The large grassy area appears to be the fairway for the 9th hole of the golf course..

Now that I've learned that George F. Slade was a "Jr.", I see that his work dated about 1910, and not 1930. The sources refer to his 7" x 9" photographs as "postcards"; whereas, George F. Slade Jr., wrote that his photographs were "art". Given the earliest days of photography, and wet-glass negatives, I'll give him that!

I have two of his "postcards", and both should go into the Gallery, but I seem to have "exceeded my allotment of allowed disk space".

Would that have been the best fairway for landing an airplane? No, I'm not kidding.

My Dad, a caddy at BPCC, would land his Curtis-Wright Junior there, as well as Tuftonboro's open pastures and fields. This was prior to WWII.

Driving through Tuftonboro, my Dad would point to a fence crossing a pasture, and say, "They've ruined a good landing strip!"

The Curtis-Wright Junior, as it is flown today.

Nice pictures. The peak in the center background is Copple Crown. Alton Bay and Mt Major are off to the right.
