Karfreitag – 1946
I found this awesome family photo in an antique store recently and simply could not pass it up.

Exterior view of the United States Capitol Building. Look at that parking lot of vintage autos, many of which look pretty dirty like they’ve had a long winter. Slide dates from May 1969.

The Butchart Gardens – Victoria...
The Butchart Gardens is one of, if not the top tourist attraction in Victoria, British Columbia. I believe that this is the “Sunken Garden,” which is one of the oldest parts of the garden. It was first built by Jennie Butchart, who’s husband, Robert Pim Butchart had a limestone quarry here. As the limestone deposits ran out [...]
