A Peek into the Past

Another shot from the Peek into the Past Festival at Tocal Homestead.

A real peek into the past on this washing line with the long John's and nightshirts blowing in the breeze.

Sorry I am a bit absent at the moment, not much time to comment on 365 this week. Roll on the weekend, I should get a free day then.
I'm sure they had got the designs right! I remember my elderly father wearing long johns like this!

Wow a real throwback photo to those days! This really captures that time.

@maggiemae @kjarn @ludwigsdiana To be honest David was issued with a pair of olive green long johns as part of his military kit during the Falklands War. They were called 'olive drabs' I don't think he actually wore them though.

Great shadows on the ground and by the look of them, it's a very sunny day. Maybe too warm for long johns

I like laundry shots! Great image.

There where times I was in countries in winters I love to wear them. Drying the laundry into the open air my wife still love to do.

Blimey, what a blast from the past.

Very cool long john's.lol

Haha! Such fun!

You wouldn't have to see this as something in the past here- the Amish communities still line dry their wash and these items are usually amongst the clothing there. Nice shot!
August 17th, 2018  
Haha fun shot
