It’s Saturday – Vintage Photo Time
For Sepia Saturday, the weekly inspiration photo was a scenic lagoon with strolling people. Here’s my answer for it, though mine has no water feature. It does have the strolling people.
My great-grandmother, Marie Kennedy lived with her family lived in Baldwin which isn’t too far from Topeka. Perhaps she visited Vinewood Park around 1900 like the people above.
Here’s the Sepia Saturday Challenge photo. I’m guessing it is a seaside town in Europe in the 1930s.
I’d never heard of that park. Interesting post! “Vinewood Park first opened as a dance hall in 1890 and the area was transformed into an amusement park in 1903.” From the Roller Coaster DataBase website.

Strolling in the park is a perfect match to the prompt even if not near water. Nice going! 🙂

I bet one of my bands played at Vinewood Park. Kansas seems to have had an extraordinary number of talented bands and photographers.

Most of our parks are closed! One walk alone a day is the ‘permitted’ exercise.

Most of our parks are closed as some people ignored social distancing rules so we can’t currently enjoy a stroll like in your Vinewood Park.

Who wouldn’t want to visit the park in Topeka. It looks lovely.

Per my Road Atlas of Britain, Bridlington is indeed a seaside resort town in the East Riding of Yorkshire of England, which makes it a coastal city southeast of Scarborough (of “Fair” fame”) on the west side of the North Sea. The postcard depicts the promenade around Bridlington Bay.
