When mom moved into the nursing home I inherited things that she inherited when her parents died and some that they had likewise inherited from their parents. Sentimental stuff only: diaries and photos dating back 110 years, the rest all sold or given away long ago.

We don’t have kids, and no one else has reason to care about these old photos. So there will come a day when someone throws these old objects in the trash. When my memory of these people fades and dies.

But maybe not today.

My grandfather, in his mid-20s, probably taken in the early 1920s, wearing a suit and tie, balancing on the parapet of a building several stories above a city street. Maybe Vancouver? Not sure.

@impermanen_@zirk.us Beautiful! The local archive would in the future probably be very interested in these (especially the city photo)!

@meyltje@beige.party not sure what city that is. A lot of the context is already lost to the sands of time.
