White stripes through photographs are Art – The Omen

Trains and the French woman’s name I forgot

French women at Dartington train station 1976

Here is another negative I found that isn’t perfect. Taken in 1977 on Dartington railway station. This reminds me of the movie ‘The Omen’ – each victims photograph had a white line through them, one was decapitated another, Father Brennan attempted to seek shelter from a storm in a church, but the door is bolted shut. A lightning bolt strikes the church steeple and is impaled by a large steel rod which falls from the roof .

I wish I could remember the woman’s name in the stripey hoodie, the other was my landlady of the time Evette.

About peter

'Death by Sushi' Fish can kill me. When I was very small (maybe 3 or 4 years old) my grandfather, who lost the sight of one eye from a bullet fired by a German sniper (fortunately not a very good one) during the Battle of the Somme in World War 1, wiped my face with the corner of his apron, an apron he had used to wipe his filleting knife on. He was a grocery shopkeeper who specialized in wet fish.
