ThatOld55

The sunday challenge = Time.
----------------------------------------------------
Nothing beats a good family portrait, improving while growing older. Here you see part of my family, in the mid-fifties of the last century. They visited our house to celebrate my birth. As a newborn I had to stay upstairs with my mother....... To the left my prowd father. Upper row in the middle my godmother, who died 1994 at the age of 104. My grandfathers were nicknamed Adenauer & Eisenhouwer.

Fascinating old image though I'm not sure I'd want to live until I'm 104 not the way the world is going at the moment! ;)

What a wonderful idea for the submission to TSC. I particularly like the multiple expressions and focus of the family members.
