Grand Canyon and Lake Mead from Rampart Cave
Lake Mead extends far
upstream from Boulder Dam, past Boulder Canyon, the Virgin Basin, Temple
Bar, Napolean's Tomb and Pierce Ferry, into the Grand Canyon.
High in the precipitous cliffs National Parks Service Naturalist are excavating
Rampart Cave, where, in the debris of its floor have been found the
remains of the giant ground sloth and other animals now extinct.

Ah-ha, another entry featuring Boulder Dam. Those old postcards are great. If I have time, I like to look through them in antique & secondhand stores because you never know what gem you might find, & where I live there are scads of antique stores to peruse, too!
ReplyDeleteTruly one of my favorite places. These are fantastic postcards, lucky you.
ReplyDeleteI really like the interior power house card. It seems strange, but it looks a lot like some brewery cards.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have such a fine collection.
ReplyDeleteA bit of dejavu, someone posted Boulder Dam as well...don't remember who right now. Obviously it's worth looking at!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours in these cards.
ReplyDeleteAdds to Postcardy's views as well.
ReplyDeleteThese linen postcards have a distinctive color and style. I'm always amused by the artist's addition of tiny cars and people to give scale.
ReplyDeleteCool a giant sloth!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are awesome --- in the best sense of the word!
ReplyDeletePostcards with these kind of colors is new to me. They look fantastic! :)
ReplyDeleteThis matches beautifully with Sepia Saturdays theme image.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great postcard. I'm developing an appreciation for those old linen cards.
