Aspen Mermaid: 1963

Submitted by seri_art on Sun, 12/14/2008 - 1:27pm.
Tags:
Aspen, Colorado, winter 1962-63. Boomerang Lodge, designed by owner Charlie Paterson, a Frank Lloyd Wright-trained architect (and ski instructor). This was a setup for a professional photo shoot. I shot it without the lights the pro used. Charlie is the guy with the black hair looking into the pool. View full size.

Not a bar...

It was the lower lounge of the Boomerang Lodge, with a fireplace on the left and a window into the pool.

Why was this type of bar so popular in the USA? I mean the "mermaid bar." Is it possible that I have seeing this photo on a National Geographic?

Identical aquatic twins would have been so much more appropriately Blofeldian.

Take another look and you'll see that it's just a single mermaid and her reflection.

Boomerang Lodge

I just love this -- the Rat Pack meets Downhill Racer, with a dash of James Bond. Check out seri_art's other Aspen photos in the Member Gallery. Coming soon to the homepage: Some exterior shots of the Boomerang.
