I am enchanted by these old photos and their delightful inhabitants...
I found them on Flickr, in the treasure trove hosted by Okinawa Soba.
Where are these women now, I wonder? how old are they?
Are they happy?

Absolutely beautiful photographs. Do you think that they were mail order brides ? They don't look all that happy to me. Let's hope they were happy after the photograph was taken.I think that they were. XXXX
ReplyDeleteIf they are happy I don't think their faces know it.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought before I read your words were how incredibly sad they all look.
ReplyDeleteWonder how things panned out in the end?
I wonder the same thing AJ...

There is so much mystery to this beautiful pictures...It is hard to say what this beautiful brides feel, but the air this photograhs create are full of vulnerability and innocence...
