For me there's something about being in places where people just like me played out their lives long ago. I can almost feel their presence still and it makes me wonder about them, their lives, what they did and where they went. I like to know things, investigate, and so history allows me to do that.
When in the UK A couple years back I got to indulge in it, the castles and all, and I've travelled Europe to do the same...I find it all interesting. War history too, a big focus of mine.
Anyway, seems like me and your husband have that in common, and you have a great appreciation of it too.
Thanks for the comment and yeah, maybe we all lived before and can't remember it...An interesting concept.
Speaking of war history, when living in Germany we took a long weekend trip to the Maginot Line and Normandy, The Beaches, I bet you would have liked it. Maybe I should post some photos from it. I always wonder what to post, I'm just not too good with words. But - I like reading yours. Of course, it helps that you're an Aussie bloke and I lived in Oz, Melbourne, for three year a long, long time ago. Thank you.
That's cool...I have the intention of getting there. I have toured many battlefields around the world with the top two being the Western Front (France and Belgium) for several days and the Kokoda Trail, in Papua New Guinea, also for several days. (That last is a tough jungle trek.)
You should do a post and feel free to tag me - Don't worry if you think it's good or not, just get it done. :)
Lived in Melbourne? Cool, I', in Adelaide...Smaller than the big smoke which is how I like it.
Have a think about doing that post, it would be good to see.
Thanks for the encouragement. I might just do that and rummage through my old photos. 'Old' - LOL - 15 years - it was my first trip with my first ever big-girl-DSLR hahaha - I guess that might make for a story post. But not tonight anymore. I think I'll rather do some more reading, possibly commenting.
Fifteen years? Ancient! Lol...It's funny you know, I'm 51 and can remember the no-digital-photos-days like it was yesterday. In fact, that The pick up post you also commented on...The photos of my truck are all on paper...Pre digital camera. Lol. Makes me feel like a dinosaur. A G-dogosauras Rex.
Do the post...At the very least it'll bring some memories back.
Welcome to dinosaur land. I have a lot of photo prints. Most notably those from my time in Australia. They are a bit yellowed like the ones of your F100. Still not bad though.
Roll them out!
