Los Angeles oil wells, June 1941

Los Angeles oil wells, June 1941How odd it must have been to walk out your front door and see all those oil wells along the horizon. On second thoughts, for those two women in this photo, it was probably just normal and they didn’t think twice about it. (This shot is dated June 1941.)

    What an unusual and unique photo although to my ole eyes, could even pass for a postcard of sorts. Wonder what the topic of conversation was – those women almost look like they were photo shopped in, don’t they? And notice the folks to the right of the palm tree enjoying a chat on the porch of their white bungalow. I can’t tell if the brown thing is a dog.

    Smog even then – look at those hazy oil fields.

    Love the old cars! Jean
