I never tire of looking at this card: the couple dancing with such enthusiasm, the rainy platform, the advertisement for Brooke Bond Tea, the flags, the man in the background wearing sandals and white socks. Above all I like the international flavour.
I'm almost certain the station pictured is Rawtenstall in the north west of England, once part of the national railway network but now managed by the East Lancashire Railway.
That's a great pictue - it made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI like this swing dance couple! Nice!
ReplyDeleteYou could do that. With the right partner. Bet you could. And I would take your picture. :)
ReplyDelete@Valdese Blogger, makes me smile too!
ReplyDelete@MBL,thanks, I like it too.
@Max, yes, I'd love to do that with the right partner, but you wouldn't be taking any photos :)
