Bygone Times

18/02/2010 by Nikita

On THIS LINK you can watch some short clips about Cape Town but also take a virtual tour! This link is worth visiting.

Do yourself a favour and take a look at Etienne’s Flickr photos  – even if you are from the US or the UK you will find pics you will appreciate. On this image you can see the cable car on Table Mountain being inspected – 1977. He has pictures that cover a variety of topics and you will surely find something to your taste. This next pic is Adderley Street – Cape Town  – 1960.

    Hi James
    Yes, I feel the same like you. These pictures are precious. I hope you’ve seen the England-pics and the WWII-pics

    Sulke foto’s laat my altyd so oud voel. 😦

    hi Boer! Jong, ek is geneig om saam te stem! Onthou net, jy is so oud soos jy voel, dus, as jy 18 voel, dan is jy 18! 🙂

    Maar die ding is, ek VOEL nie 18 nie! 😆

    nikita,

    its seldom that people like you ever look back to the photographs of the yesteryears. quite nostalgic.

    hi Hames
    You made me following again that link on Flickr and spending another hour or so looking at newly uploaded photos! Yes, I love such things and in general I think I have a sentiment for many things, especially when it comes to anything “historical”. These pics on the link are quite nostalgic – and special. It’s when looking at these pics, that I regret the times I had opportunities to collect “memories” [in the form of pics] and didn’t think about it really.
