Funny, but Hans Christian Anderson came to mind when I opened this - looks like a fairy tale. V

A superb composition. I'm surprised you didn't have a career as a professional photographer.

So interesting to see this little town from the 50's. Love how you have revisited the good old film days.
And yes your photographic skills were evident at a young age. V

You had a great eye back then too. V

It is a timeless scene. I almost went into merchant marine but failed eye test for deck officer :(

thank you for sharing this old scene.V.

This is a classic! Big fan of your early work! Amazing to think these people are just 5 years from a war. Lot's of children and that's a good sign. I think the person in the window across the canal adds to the scene. BV
