Was down walking around the front of the grandstands, shown in flood pict., and looked down and sure enough these were poking out, about a foot down in a wash out. These ancient of days, light emitters, what did they illume? Maybe a demo derby, trotter races, harley flat track, 4-H fashion show :P --ron s.

I really enjoyed this one. Belongs in a museum.
So fun to think of those future wondering minds, "why did those bulbs blow out when turned on? What is the purpose of a light that lasts a hundredth of a second? How wasteful and expensive, tungsten blasters you throw away... thanks ron. Smile

It is a powerful photo, as documentary.

Haven't seen these since I was a kid. They look like they could have been fired off yesterday. Only for fleeting use but built to last!
