Fave Piece of Content

Port Erin, Isle of Man, 1949 - Shared by soupowl

Last week on Friday Favourites it was all about a stylish Mum, this week I have gone for a radical Dad. This photo shared by soupbowl  shows his Dad, Desmond Hugh Powell, hitting the road on his bike. The story suggests his make of bike could be a Norton – can any bike lovers can help solve this mystery?

librarynerd82 shares his memories of a family journey from Georgia across the country to West Coast. librarynerd82 took this photo at Four Corners, which is the only place you can stand in four states at the same time: New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. Four Corners is situated at Ute Mountain, NM, USA. I’m also digging the shorts.

 Pinner of the Week

Svolvær, Lofoten, 1932, Shared by norwegeninfo

#PINNEROFTHEWEEK is awarded to norwegeninfo who has uploaded some lush content this week on Historypin. My fave has to be Oslo, Cathedral, an iconic building captured in the early 30s which doesn’t look to different from now. My second fave out of the bunch  is titled Gudvangen. I love the contrast of the two modes of transport featured – a small ship and a horse and cart. You can see their full profile here.
