Scenery (Random Old Photos)

More recent purchases: two not-particularly-illuminating, scenic-beauty-type postcards photographed by August Haase. Both postmarked 1908.

Lake George, A. Haase, PM 1908

That looks like the "dam of bricks" we saw a couple of posts ago. Mr. Haase has just turned his camera a bit further north/northwest. If you look carefully behind the trees, I think you can see a few brickyard stacks.

Deep River, Haase, PM 1908

Beyond the stretch of water in the foreground is what looks like the dam, so I suppose if the camera turned left we'd see the old mill. Maybe.

Judging by those trees, I'd say the Deep River was flooding when this picture was taken.
