Dune Dwellers A Lazy Afternoon

Long Island Beach, New York
c. 1894 AB189410

Costume
   Longsleeve white dresses, sun hats, boots.

   Face and hands.

Actions
   Two young women and the children sit somewhat apart, each with their own thoughts, on a grassy patch high above the water's edge (1).

Commentary
   Since most of the south short of Long Island is rather straight, a good Bikini Scientist may well be able to place exactly where this location is.
