50 years ago after I was born I lived just 40 meters from the place where this picture was taken today.
I always love the way you can get street photos without people in them !
Are you sure people are not running away from you, when you show up in town with you camera, @mjseu ?
LOL, sometimes there are just no people, it is a quiet little town in eastern Finland. But when I look back, 50 years has gone quite fast. I am in the place of my birth and all former world travels have been meaningless and money spent was wasted. Many people of my youth are still around, but some have died already. We are getting older and it shows in some people very clearly.
The world has been more wonderful for the last 50 years because you have been in it. Thanks for your lovely pictures and inspiring words.
I was just thinking something quite different. I have been riding my bicycle a lot and came to my mind that I was less than seven years old in the early 1970s, when I rode my bicycle on the same streets as I did today. Somehow nothing has changed. When I look at others and see that how they have their own children and maybe even grandchildren, I understand how little I have achieved, well I am not the only one. As I become older, I have realized that I need to have more and more meds due to various illnesses I have. But this is just my life.
Get old great.
