I WAS GIVEN THIS PHOTOGRAPH BY A FRIEND AND ASKED SELL IT FOR HER. I WAS TOLD THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN BY HER UNCLE HERE IN OREGON UP BY DETROIT LAKE IN THE LATE 1920'S. SHE SAID, HE TOLD HER HE WAS UP THERE FISHING WHEN HE SAW A BEAUTIFUL BEAM OF LIGHT IN THE TREES, SO HE TOOK A PHOTO OF IT. LATER THAT DAY HE WAS FISHING IN HIS WOODEN BOAT AND AS HE WAS BRINGING IN A FISH IT TIPPED OVER. HE DID NOT KNOW HOW TO SWIM, ALL HE REMEMBERED WAS GOING UNDER. THEN WAKING UP ON THE SHORE. SO UPSET BY THIS, HE PACKED UP CAMP AND WENT HOME. LATER WHEN THE PHOTOS WERE DEVELOPED, THIS WAS THE IMAGE THAT WAS ON THE FILM. I DO NOT KNOW IF I COULD SELL A PHOTO LIKE THIS FROM MY FAMILY, BUT SHE HAS HER REASONS. I THINK IT IS AN AMAZING IMAGE. I MADE HER A WALLET SIZE COPY TO CARRY WITH HER ALWAYS AND WILL OFFER THE ORIGINAL TO YOU. IS THIS A TRUE STORY, I DO NOT KNOW, THIS IS NOT FROM MY FAMILY, BUT IT IS WORD FOR WORD WHAT I WAS TOLD AND I THINK IT IS A WONDERFUL THOUGHT! I HOPE IT WILL BE A BLESSING TO WHO EVER ENJOYS IT NEXT. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL OLD PHOTOGRAPH, NOT A COPY. IT MEASURES 5 X 7 INCHES!
