It surely is a joy for tourists to Cuba to take a drive in one of the old American 'classics' like this beautifully restored 1950s era Chevrolet. And the owners love to do it as it brings in some much welcomed money, and gives a chance to show off the results of their years of loving care for the car.
Thanks for looking, etc.:)
Macro Mondays - Book
McDougall's Cookery Book
19th Edition circa 1950's
I believe this belonged to an old neighbour and has been very well used!! It still has the original string/wool at the top for hanging and in this instance for keeping some of the pages in place !!!
1950s-vintage International Harvester Metro van, another yard ornament at Nelson, Nevada. Shot October 2021. 2:43 of full moon and Protomachines flashlight.
Bald Eagles, once headed toward extinction in the 1950s-60s, have rebounded after DDT (pesticide) was banned. They were removed from the U.S. Endangered Species List in 2007.
"Bald" comes from an Old English word "Balde", meaning "White". Adult Bald Eagles have the distinctive pure white head and tail.
Seen at the Detroit Zoo, in a large open-air environment.
dial m for masterpiece. this has to be my all-time favorite costume!! i found the shot at the oregon historical society when researching images for my little postcard company. i've used the original title and here's the rest: ruth & earl pinegar's prize-winning costume at the mad art ball of the portland art directors club. 11/23/1959 photographer: frank sterrett. EDIT: as of 5/18, someone else has decided to take this version of the image from my stream and put it on theirs. i'm not the photographer but i did work on it to make it more presentable, and would appreciate it if people could ask before swiping stuff. and i think it only fair and within the photographer's rights to be given credit whenever the image is displayed.
Next up the 1950s. And boy did the Diahann Carroll style short hairdo slay the day!!
The 1950s was the era of strong communities and family values. Although there were many injustices going on at that time, people joined together to share love, food, and a good time between fighting for what they deserved. I admire this era because people actually looked out for one another and valued kindness more than in the present day.

Wedding gift for my cousin Johnny and his new bride Laura, who are getting hitched in Chicago on Saturday. Johnny is a huge fan of Wyoming, Jackson Hole, the Grand Tetons, skiing, etc.
A western boy at heart.
Painted from a 1950s postcard in my collection: "Snake River through the Grand Teton National Park."
Most common rendition of the classic Walter Teague-designed Texaco stations without canopy over pump island. Texaco built thousands of these stations between 1937 and 1960, with modified versions of this design continued until 1966, when Texaco adopted the "Matawan" design featuring mansard roofing, exterior stone facing and service bays mounted to the side of the station.
Off the shelf and to the driveway. Had to show a couple vintage work horses on the way to a job. They don't build them like this any more. Probably a good thing with all the hot burning polymers in virtually everything we buy these days. Bottom line, fire burns much hotter, and more toxic than ever. Thanks for looking!
A circa 1950s Mercedes-Benz lorry found on the Greek island of Kefalonia. I am not an expert on Mercedes trucks, but I believe this to be an L3500 series of some type. The truck is not in perfect condition, but looks to still be in daily use – not bad for a 60-70-year-old vehicle.
Ivatt No. 46512 works away from Boat of Garten Station during an Andrew Fowler and Jonny Gourlay photo charter at the Strathspey Railway, March 2022.
This has become one of my favourite photos because of the atmosphere that it oozes. True heritage and scenes that recreate the feel of days gone by are one of the things that I aim for with my photography and as this is no longer what many railways try to achieve now I treasure those rare occasions when the pieces fall into place. Well done to Strathspey for managing to evoke that heritage feel.
Constructive criticism always welcome.
