You have to take into account the circumstance and what and where the picture is telling you IMO, before anyone can call the picture fake it's
important to know the story behind it.
On the source offered by the OP it appears to be from a historical website showing the history of a small town in Canada which seems to have relied on
the local Goldmine for it's prosperity.
Listed as
Bralorne Pioneer Museum Gold Bridge , British Columbia
The caption for the picture tells us
Reopening of the South Fork Bridge after flood in Nov. 1940. 1941 (?) South Fork Bridge, Gold Bridge, B.C. Canada Events: Historic Gender: Mixed
People: Crowd Type: Image Work: Transport General: The 1940's
On the same site it has pictures of the collapsed bridge and the cause in the picture, a semi carrying a large digging machine , this picture which is
picture # 124 is one of 155 pictures of events and people in the town, " Bralorne BC.
Why would someone plant a picture there to be discovered? the chances of it's discovery would be small with it being seemingly for locals.
The site has a contact button which could be used to ask about the pictures.
The man does seem to a little out of place, he even appears to have a designer stubble, excluding the shadow on the side of his face, because that is
from his ear, but above his mouth and on his chin shows the stubble, the camera is a little obscured to tell for sure what kind it is.
He looks like he has thrown on the nearest clothes he could to come see the bridge re-open, of course the picture could be a fake, but just because
this can be done, does not mean it has been, which could be settled by contacting the site designer asking for the negative or any other query about
the photo.
My personal believe is, time travel is possible, just because we don't understand or know how it is achieved, does not in any way prove it is
impossible, there have ben several incidents of time slips in this city, a lot of them recorded, and told to others with similar details, with no
connection to those who expierienced the slip, but they always happen in the same area, and seem to send people back several decades to the same
place, they have and ccan interact with others during the slip, but have no control on staying or returning, often they enter a store, or turn a
corner to find themselves back where they were, and is still happening today, one incident happening not more then 7 months ago, to two people, not
related or having any knowledge of each other, just bumping into one another and noticing the similarities in their dress, then both returning at the
same time just by entering a store they know now as a book store, but is totally different in the slip, or as it was back when they slipped too.
I guess we will never know for certain about this picture, but I have noticed at least two members, or very new members, trying their hardest to put
the idea down, something I have recently grown to distrust, simply because of the reactions, the determination, the excuses, their remarks on other
similar threads, and that being their only history here, have a small investigation yourselves and you will notice something a little odd.
Very good thread OP got my attention even got me looking for more oddities on the web.
S&F for sure.
