This Kodachrome slide was among thousands that came from the estate of a man who was a Colonel in the Army. The back reads, Nevada, A Bomb Cloud, 1952. It was in a Kodak Carousel and oddly positioned between normal family shots. Although the slide is mounted on a Kodachrome mount and not a mass produced one, this could still be some sort of souvenir. I have no idea of its origin, but I found it to be an eerie image.
