View of Rice’s Point, 1962
The above shot of Rice’s Point is from the Cliff’s Barber Shop Collection. It must be from early 1962, as the new Blatnik Bridge (highlighted in the below) appears to be not quite completed in the photo.
The old Interstate Bridge is barely visible in the photo, hiding behind the Blatnik. Its center span was removed in 1971. The bridge in front of the Blatnik is a railroad bridge.
This modern-day shot is from April of 2011. I didn’t shoot it intending to get a comparable shot to the one up top. It’s an interesting coincidence. A few hours after I acquired Cliff Johnson’s slides, but before I looked at any of them, I went for a hike on Goat Hill and shot this photo. Later in the day I borrowed my parent’s slide projector and saw Cliff took a very similar shot back in the day. Weird.
