The boy walking the dog is in shorts, people are sitting on the deck eating and relaxing, nobody is wearing any kind of heavy coat, and the sunroofs are open on the cars....with all that snow on the ground? Must be a different kind of cold in the region. |
Grimsel appears to be Grimsel Pass at 7000'
Probably a nice day in Switzerland since it's sunny out.
I've been outside before when it's HOT even though there's snow on the ground. Sun reflecting off all the snow and so on _________________ How to Post Photos

So true^^^
I've skied in Colorado and Big Bear in California with t-shirts and shorts on at 7000'+ feet in sunny, clear days. It can be HOT despite all the snow on the ground.
I don't even want to discuss the sun burn that comes with it... _________________ Contact me at [email protected]

I think that top photo is an *outtake* from a 1954/5 ca. Leica photo session, with a pretty blonde and a MAHAG Munich sunroof car somewhere on the Dutch/German North Sea coastline, promo photo used for the 8/August 1956 cover of "Gute Fahrt" ("Good Driving") magazine for the Volkswagen enthusiast.
I'm guessing a L 227 Strato Silver car though I love the idea of it being L 276 Ultramaroon.
Enjoy!

Link to a bunch of pictures.
It is a russian website, and in cryllic, you can use google to translate.
It is a safe site, 'like Life magazine in russian!' I've been going there for years.
Neat pics in the factory, storage etc.
(almost forgot, heres the link!)
