The quality of those photographs is amazing! I have a bunch of old photos from my grandparents and great grandparents displayed in my house. I really like old pictures like that. Thanks for sharing! |

Very nice photos, what I find amazing is that in B&W photos it looks so old back then, but with these colour ones it looks like today but with older architecture, vehicles and clothing.

Really cool pics. I seee the photos are from color slides, that explains the quality. Notice all the hats the people are wearing. Things shure have changed.

Very cool pictures. Its just strange to me that building that look like they would have been built in the 40's look old in the pictures.

Very cool photos. The one of the P51 Mustang is my favourite, not so much for the plane itself, but the clarity and detail captured in that photo. Thanks for sharing!

Those were fantastic. I spent 15 minutes looking thru them. My favorite was the family eating dinner. Nobody was eating the biscuits and it looked like dad might have almost cut his thumb off. Thanks for sharing.  |
