If I am a goddess why are my feet stuck in the trenches?
Amazing photos. The pram looks a little like an enclosed grill, however. Hmmm. Curious.
On the pram pic – good to know that in the middle of a gas attack you would still be able to take “junior” for a walk in the park …
And what the hell are those “beak” looking things on those women in the photo just above that?
the caption said “masks for walking in a snow storm” but I wasn’t sure.
I want the orange peel house and that monster loaf of bread!
The Sydney Opera House is supposedly designed on an orange peel concept. The sail type roof being segments of an orange!
I always thought it looked to boat sails.
What an amazing collection. Thanks FD…….things people do to pretend to make themselves safe from warfare. (and children’s ball-damage, or was that balls to protect children-damage…whatever, they’ve got it all covered.)
The last one looks like a sci-fi house. Kinda like the ones from my favorite childhood cartoon Dragon Ball Z. XD LOL!
