Amsterdam Toen en Nu.
Bron oude foto: Beeldbank Amsterdam.
Eerste indruk lijkt het dat er weinig is veranderd. Maar als je kijkt naar de ramen, deur en andere details is er toch wel veel veranderd.
First impression it seems that little has changed. But when looking at the windows, door and other details a lot has changed.

While exploring the Battery Park City landfill, I came across this view. I still clearly recall how that area reeked of a unique mix of diesel exhaust from construction equipment, raw sewage and the general scent of the Hudson River. I kind of miss it in today's totally gentrified city.
By the way, that's the old 1920s West Side Highway crossing in front of the World Trade Center. By this time, it was already closed and abandoned.
This is a crop of a sharpened square-format Kodachrome 126 film slide.
Thursday Throwback. My lovely wife and one of my High School Mustangs.I didn't keep the cars but I got a best friend and wonderful wife instead.
Found these old tins in the cellar. They don't have any cocoa or tobacco in now but nails and a random selection of screws my Dad must have put in them years ago.
Wanted to post something so went through some images from a recent visit. Decided to do a little black and white with some additional tweaks. This location is slowly being renovated, no work has been done in it for quite a while. It still retains that abandoned flavor despite having been cleared of most of the debris.

This is a tribute to my dear old grandma who passed away earlier today, at the age of 97 years, RIP.
The photos are from the early 40's.
A different perspective of the abandoned prairie farmyard. Gears and belts and blades that used to provide a living. Walls and doors and windows that used to gather the family. The yard and fields and outbuildings that used to host everything from work to play to family reunions. Life happens... and then moves on.
What's left are memories and evidence and weathered relics that will speak fascinating volumes... if you take the time to listen.

This picture is for the group Macro Monday's and this week the theme is "Back In The Day".
This picture didn't turn out like I was hoping that it would but I guess I've run out of time.
It's hard to believe that I have so many things that are considered "old" or that are no longer in use!! Funny. I don't feel that old.
I try to choose items for Macro Monday's that I think are not going to be used as often. For this theme, even though I have a lot of my Parent's and Grandparent's "treasures", I did not want to photograph pots/pans, jewelry, coins/currency because I thought those things would be photographed quite a bit. I have in the past taken pictures of cassette tapes, arcade coins... etc, from my childhood and didn't wan't to take the same picture again.
I decided to photograph an envelope from the War Department (from WW2... 1943) that was sent to my Great Grandma, my Grandpa's paper Drivers License (from 1939) and a tin photograph of my Great Grandparents/Great Aunts & Uncle (taken prior to 1910). I remember when I was a little kid asking my Grandma how they got those pictures on a piece of metal.
*Not to do w/these items but kind of funny - my niece (at the time under 10 yrs old) in shock asked my Mom at seeing black & white photo's "you didn't see in color when you were little??" 😄
The War Department existed from 1789 to 1947 (according to Wikipedia). See link:
Got myself a "new" book yesterday and this morning I learned how to make a shirt button out of thread.
Back to school .. :-)
I can remember years ago when so many rural houses looked like this. I miss seeing them.
From the looks of the porch I think this old house is abandoned. Lot of firewood on the porch. Well in yard is covered up. Grass seems to be cut.

This little garden behind a quaint little shop on George
Street has been rented to numerous different shop keepers
and their wares over the years. At this very moment it is a
gourmet-pretzel-establishment with a little eating area at the
'back right.' What will it be next year? - Thanks for looking
*[there is a cute little-old-cabin 'in the back left' that they have
now hidden with landscaping...but it's still back there! LOL]
*[probably the neatest and nicest it's looked in a long time!]

This is just a lil' taste ;-)
Visiting back in 2002 for my boy's christening.
He surprised her with a kiss. She loved it.
We lost her to a stroke on 1 July 2006 and I miss her madly.
Ol' loverboy's still around though... :-)
I heard an old familiar sound
Just on the other day,
Which started me to thinking
In a nostalgic way.
Ringing through the neighborhood
Was the delightful tune.
I found me patting both my feet.
It made me want me want to croon.
Such sound, so gentle and so sweet,
And so very mild,
Took me back to the days
When I was just a child.
With favorite treats less than a buck,
‘Twas the sound of the ice cream truck.
(Ice Cream Truck ballad by Walterrean Salley)
