Where the water meets the sky

These haunting images were posted by Meagan Irene Abell - she found them in a box of negatives (you see, they're really ancient) in Richmond, Virginia and posted them to Facebook in the hope she might trace the women or the photographer. They're undated but to me the dresses and the hair suggest they were taken in the Fifties.

The gentle colours of their dresses reflected in the sky and water, the soft light and their gaze in to the wide unknown give them an ethereal quality. Just beautiful. Who are they and where are they now?
