Great photo, Mom…. I wonder what it would look like with a slight sepia tinge? :-)
mompaq replied
Thank you! I tried the sepia tinge, but the sky did not look good! The black and white image looks better!

The truck helps so much in rolling back the years – love the detail to study in the larger view

Great capture that makes me “feel” it. I grew up in the 60’s in Bucks County Pennsylvania and now live in a much “newer” part of the country, North Idaho. I can almost taste a frosty Hires Root Beer out of a soda cooler in this photo.

Thanks for your kind words on my Going Sledding picture. Came to see some of your work and fell in love with this scene. Great job. We’re in the process of moving back to Pennsylvania and I’ll be looking for the ‘old time’ scenes like this to photograph. Now if I can just find an old barn with the ‘Red Man Chewing Tobacco’ sign painted on it. . .
best,
Dick
