Still More Europe, 1979*

Gruyere, or was it Emmentaler?

At length we did make it to Venice and
a few other towns in northern Italy

And then back north to Salzburg, in Austria, the ancestral
Scheraus home

And still further back north, to Bayreuth and Wagner's
Haus Wahnfried, back in the days before the "no fotos"
policy

And then, moving right along, through the Rhine, etc., to
Merry Olde England

Taking the same shots at Canterbury I did when I was last
there, in 2009;  comparing the 600 35mm slides I took in
1979 with those of the last few years in Europe, I am struck
by the many similarities in subject, composition, etc; I am
not quite sure whether to be pleased or concerned

We spent most of our time in or around London; this was about as
close to Scotland as we got in 1979

But we did make it up to Stratford

And out to Stonehenge, back in the days when you could
walk right out to it and touch the stones; the beginning of
our megalithic interests

All in this brown (ick!) Austin Mini, rented for a week; it's
amazing how much crap you could pile into a Mini

The End
