Old pictures

Postby kafenes » Sat Jun 02, 2007 1:52 am

I love looking at old pictures. Here's a couple to start with. The first one is my great grandfather taken around 1890. The second one is my uncle as a young boy working at a general store in Amiandos and next to him is his father and his taxi, T for taxi, N for Nicosia and 870 was the number of the car. Interesting articles hanging up for sale at the store.

Thanks karma. They are great pics. Any relations to the one in the first pic? (just kiddin) :)
The second one of Smirni I have seen before. I would have loved to have had a walk through these streets in those times.
Re. the third pic, I am having trouble understanding the stuff hanging on the stick. Can you help??

They must have heard of cheap real estate.

Get Real, don't tell me you spot Karma there somewhere.

More like the cheap hookers of the time... This should be titled "The Romans spot a brothel and make an emergency landing"! :)
