This is my take on Cee’s Photo Challenges (CFFC) this weeks topic: Future Nostalgic!
MY BROTHER AND MY FATHER
ME AND MY BROTHER
In high school seniors’ prom dance in February 1999. The burial of father’s urn in July 2020. In a photography studio. At first I was afraid of the camera at the time, but when I got in my brother’s arms, I was no longer afraid. My brother and I in our family’s old car in the early ’80s. My first summer at our summer cottage in 1980.
CHILDHOOD/YOUTH MEMORIES
Visiting grandma and grandpa… …I fell asleep on Grandma’s lap. Christmas Eve around -88 (?) Grandma and mom at the table with me … and Marjukka doll. Grandmother and mother on Christmas Eve in front of a spruce tree. An image of seniors’ prom dances in high school. Graduate celebration. I’m here at about five or six years old. Here I am at the age of about two visiting our family friends. My baptism at -80. Here I am at about five or six years old with my new hat. Visiting godparents sometime in the early ’90s. I fell asleep on the couch.

TRAVEL MEMORIES
IN THE COTTAGE / IN THE COUNTRY
My brother is singing with his friend at our summer cottage. Our summer cottage. I’m feeding a neighbor’s horse at the cottage. Beautiful beach landscape in Salo, visiting a friend. An acquaintance’s summer place. A beautiful place in our cottage town called: ”Virransilta” where romantic summer dances were once held. Picture taken from the bridge where they used to dance. The yard of the summer cottage.
This is my (future) nostalgic!
Great images of days from the past.
… and great memories… especially now that only my mother and I are left of my family…
Thanks for stopping by!
