I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up several batches of slides a while back from Goodwill and eBay. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. There are thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here mainly because I find them an interesting way to look back at the past.
I don't know a whole lot about the ultimate origins of this batch of slides other than they came from Goodwill. Like previous batches, these too often have a date stamped on them that I assume indicates when the film was developed and I believe in most cases should give approximate dating for the photograph itself. So far these seem like mostly vacation photos that were taken in the 1960s and 1970s. I've identified places in Italy, France, Mexico, and Hawaii so far.
Most of the photos in this set were processed in August 1970 which places them as having been taken in Italy based on previous sets. One is undated but I think it was also taken in Italy, probably around the same time.
The first photo was taken through a doorway, probably at a church and probably in Florence. You can see what looks like a monument and/or grave in the distance.
The second photo appears to have been taken outside of Pinocchio Park (based on the sign you can see on the wall). There have been numerous photos from this place in previous sets.
The third photo is the undated one. It was taken in a restaurant and I think there have been a few other photos of this place in previous sets as well.
The last photo is one overlooking the city of Florence. I'm not sure exactly where it was taken from but you can find lots of photos taken from the same vantage point online.
