About this footage
A chartered bus starts off several of these reels. Men in straw hats and suits climb aboard, one in a white cowboy hat waving from the steps, and the trip continues through the car window: a divided highway with a rounded sedan in the passing lane, concrete overpasses, farm fields and a stone house on a hillside.
The camera often points up. A small plane banks overhead, another comes in to land behind a woman waiting on the ground, and a blimp drifts across a blue sky. On a wide river, an orange crane lowers a steel beam onto a stone pier.
The home scenes are mostly summer ones. Two women pose in strapless tops and shorts on a backyard lawn, a baby in a diaper heads for a wading pool, and kids jump off a wooden diving board into a lake. One black-and-white sequence follows a bride in a hat and a groom with a boutonniere down the steps of a building. It suits stories about bus outings and family summers.
