Maybe it's because I live just down the road from where these are taken, but I do find these 102 year old photographs amazing.

Thank you for drawing these to attention. They are quite lovely.

Very nice. A strong emotional quality for me.
Thanks for that.

I had to look at them again. The first two and the last one are particularly haunting. Modern in some ways but truly ancient in others.
Best wishes,
