This photo seems to me more of an art piece than a photograph. Interesting side note to it, is the little phone booth looking shack on the right hand side before the bait house. John Smith the ex mayor's son told me his mothers job was to sit inside that shed with binoculars during World War II & watch for Japanese warplanes (or zero's) that came flying up the coast. She had a phone to call the proper authorities in case she spotted one. Where was Barrie Kee when you needed him? I can just hear him now "That's why they put a zero on 'em for a bullseye, I'll sight them in around 15th Ave South & blow them outta the air over the bait house"!Photo taken by Charles Barron February 1960
