As if old memories

Perspective on time. "How long ago was this taken?", I'll most certainly ask myself one day... Sometimes, certain events seem like a long time ago. When others seem like it was just yesterday...when it wasn't. 

Time. A tricky one. Or is it my memory playing up or simply today's photo effects? 

The following photos were taken in Sweden (yes, again, I know, but I took many photos there, as the country is just so beautiful and oozes serenity). 

Each photo is taken in a different location. The element that links them up is the fact that the setting just looks, to me, as if it could have been 50 years ago or more. In my mind, you could lose sense of time, here.

  3. Love all your photos but especially that fisherman. Answering your question about the vibrancy in my photos ... I have my camera set to 'vivid' which gives them a bit of enhancement. From there, I sometimes use a Topaz program to give a bit of painterly look like some of the photos in my blog. Hope that helps. Have a great week!
