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.

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!
