W/NW The Good Old Days

[Out to Lunch]

Loving it. Reminds me of the Sunday suit of my childhood days -the shoes had to be black, and I had to wear a bow tie! Cheers, OtL

Citizen me, a couple weeks ago.

Two weeks ago were the good old days for me! Now-a-days, the good old days ain't that long ago! Get'm while you can.

All the best,
Mike

Yep these were the good old days.

Yours truly, circa mid 1950's. (Don't ask about the baby "smock" - I don't know the answer and maybe would not answer if I could 🙂 )

And circa early-mid 1960's

And circa 1990 (ish)

Mike,
that picture of Mt Fuji is in my mind an Hokusai of modern times!
In a way I am too obsessed by Mt Fuji since I always wanted to buy a Japanese pen (e.g. a Namiki pen) with the famous Hokusai wave.
So far I never made it (I have perhaps more pens than cameras!), but you never know
BTW, Years ago I have visited in Rome (at the ARA PACIS) an exposition of Hokusai and other artists of his time.
Cheers
Paolo

Of course I mean The Mt Fuji levitating above the sea

Incidentally, I remember you already posted this photo. Right? Or is it a similar one?
I ask this because once I was posting a photo (from my disk) and I was stopped by the system giving an error message because photos cannot be posted twice.
Is there a work around? Does this rule not apply if the photo is in the gallery?

Paul, I don't know of any rules like that these days. I see repeat photos in various threads. And, in my dotage, I probably repeat myself constantly and post duplicate photos.

January 2020, Sunday brunch @ Halekulani Hotel, Hawaii.
It appears that they've reopened! Hope that the magic hasn't been lost, as it really was top-notch.

Hi Paul! That Mt. Fuji picture is a favorite of mine. Since I no longer drive a car I'll probably never have a chance to see Mt. Fuji like that again.

All the best,
Mike

Paul, ditto what Dogman said. I see other members posting the same pictures all over the place on RFF so I doubt there's any rule against it.

All the best,
Mike

I spent a week in Hoi An, Vietnam before it became an international tourist destination before all the hotels, buses and tour groups. Yes I do miss those days in that part of the world. The second shot is from Hanoi in the 90’s.

I took this picture today (10/12/2025) but it reminded me of the good old days when people dressed up to go out for a stroll.
