Somewhere in Africa...  Two photos...

#1

I do know it's a WW1 era Leyland RAF truck, photo likely taken after WW1 though, maybe or maybe not...  And a man, maybe a "soldier" of some sort...  And on the far right there are some native Africans passing by...  I do have a clearer photo of them, must scan that one...

#2

It's a Crossley RAF Tender, no people in this photo, but does have the hut behind it, may or may not be the same village as the previous Leyland truck...

Yes...  I did find this series of photo here in western Canada...

Looks a little like Willys Knight Touring Car  http://oldcarandtruckpictures.com/OldClassicConvertibles

I think you might be referring to the Packard above the Willys Knight, perhaps, except the head lights are different, but that isn't a big issue for cars of this age...  Admittedly it's hard to ID cars from this era, especially when all there is a side view...

Are my eyes deceiving me, or are there people standing along the top between the falls?  Maybe a sharper close up of that area may reveal the clothes they are wearing for a guess at the era.  I think I can see a lady in a long light coloured dress (or I may need a visit to the opticians  )

I do know that at one time that area between the falls was open to the public, I think I've heard that it's closed now...  There might be people up there, but so distant hard to pick out much detail...  Here's my full-size scan over at Flickr, just follow the link...  https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7366/16400112415_fc06a8c271_o.jpg

Here is a 1926 (verified date) photo of the same island from above the falls, it was called Luna Island, someone told me that Luna Island was removed in the 1960's, another found photo, but from a different source then the first photo I posted...

Wow!    As a collector of found photography, these are some of the best I've ever seen, and very good quality, yes I'm a wee bit envious, I know that's wrong... 

I picked up this photo awhile back now - here in Calgary, there is nothing on the back or front, but it tells such a story, not even sure how old it might be, any thoughts?
