My brother Pete at the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin, 1985, shared by ade.stevenson
A perfect Street View from ade.stevenson this week, his brother Pete is seen outside The Brandenburg Gate, in typical 80s get up. This photo is defiantly worth a play with the fade button.
Fave Story of the Week
New York to Paris Race, 2/21/1908, Shared by mapes53
The New York to Paris car race: mapes53 shares the story of the 1908 race which was hit by a blizzard. Many of the contestants got stuck in the pesky weather and were helped out by farmers and draft horses. The man in the photo, featured in his fancy pilot car, would have been a tour guide helping the contestants in unfamiliar areas of the race. mapes53 collects postcards, photos and advertisements of Kendallville.
Pinner of the Week
Washbridge Lane, Dereham, 1904, Shared by SueWalkerWhite
#PINNEROFTHEWEEK is awarded to SueWalkerWhite for her collection of early 1900s photographs of Dereham, Norfolk. My total fave is Washbridge Lane Flood, Dereham. Not only is it another amazing Street View but you can check out the early 1900s fashion. My other fave, Parade in Church St, shows a procession with marching men and firemen along Church Street while many watch from the side. You can see her full profile here.
Thanks for featuring one of my cards. It is the only card Kendallville from the New York to Paris race that I have found. If the photograper back in 1908 had only known what an important race it was, he would have taken a photo of each car in the race. mapes53
