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 many 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. All of the photos in this set were processed in August 1970 and based on that date and previous photos from this batch that means they were all likely taken in Italy. The first photo is of the facade of the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower, AKA the Florence Cathedral. There have been a couple of other photos of this in previous sets. It's less clear exactly where the second photo was taken though I suspect it is along the Italian coast somewhere near Pisa based on where other photos have been taken. It's also not entirely clear where the third photo was taken. Likely an Italian street somewhere in Florence, Pisa, or elsewhere in Tuscany. The last image is a photo of "Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints", a fresco by the artist Paolo Schiavo (1397-1478). This is located in San Miniato ai Monte, Florence, Italy..
