coisa in the jura

The other proof of history is everywhere… everything, everyone leaves his proof of existence … even the dino’s in the Jurassic time period that have left their feet”stamps” in “coisa” in france (i read this on another blog, don’t know witch one anymore…) the marks are now vertical because of the movement of tectonical plates – the earth below us … we are driving “ancient” cars of 30, 40, 50 years old … and those dino’s still manage to prove their existence … millions (?) of years later …

more…

history can only be proven by the means of pictures… take pictures, lots of them, and have the courage to get them printed and collected in those oldstyle-unfashionnable picture books, so you can show them to your friends, your kids, and let the pictures tell your stories, and secrets… 

mid fifties

even in the mid fifties they took pictures of the scenery and their cars…
check out the lovely ragtop oval … the period chlothing and the happy, non stressed people getting ready to get some static pictures, however the fotographer of these pictures was too fast for them and took these two very “spontaneous” pictures…
the same here .. where was it ? who are they ? do they still live ? where are the cars ?

yes

yes, i do love any kind of aircooled volkswagens, also the war period cars as the schwimmwagen and the kubelwagen (this picture). check out the “desert Kronprinz” tires. normally this car should have been used in the desert, in northern Afrika… maybe under the command of the “desert wolf”, general Rommel … if you see a picture this old, you always think … what is the history behind this picture ? who is that person, how old was he ? would he still be alive ? does the car still exists ? too bad the soldiers feet is just in front of the two letters in front of the numberplate, otherwise we would have known if it was an SS-division or a wehrmacht-division car.
