Sundance is such a fine name, and it looks like he wore it well. Thank you for this lesson, John. You're a good pal. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove these old portraits. They are so detailed and amazing.
ReplyDeleteSome projects have already been started and built in the neighbourhood yet the high rise in the distance still not going up. Not sure why as they sold all the units long ago and the crane has been there for months. Any building in your neighbourhood?

Sundance looks nice and colorful. I've read the book, The Trail of Tears.
ReplyDeleteI read the Blackfeet were fierce warriors, but he looks pretty peaceful.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you dig this interesting stuff up for us to see.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool postcard
