I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up a huge batch of slides a while back. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. These were from Goodwill and eBay. There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here mainly because I find them an interesting way to look back at the past.
I don't know a whole lot about the ultimate origins of this batch of slides other than they came from Goodwill. Like previous batches, these too often have a date stamped on them that I assume indicates when the film was developed and I believe in most cases should give approximate dating for the photograph itself. So far these seem like mostly vacation photos that were taken in the 1960s and 1970s. I've identified places in Italy, France, Mexico, and Hawaii so far.
Like the previous few sets, these photos were all processed in August 1970 and appear to have been taken in Italy.
The first one Google Lens helped me identify as the Cathedral of Pisa in Pisa, Italy.
The second photo is a whole lot less interesting. It looks like it may have been taken inside of a building that was under construction.
I believe that the third photo is of the replicas of the statue of David in Florence, Italy. There was another photo of this same statue in a previous set.
The Last photo shows a river, probably also in Florence, Italy.

The entire collection that has been scanned and uploaded so far can also be found here. This also includes higher resolution versions and versions with post processing.
