Those Were The Days...Vintage Travel Photos

 

London, 1939 via

As I obsessed over The Weather Channel in advance of the big snowstorm last week, I found my eye lingering to a photo essay showing hundreds of vintage travel photos. One thing led to another and I started searching out old travel photos on Pinterest and Tumblr, and I even pulled out some photo albums to see some old photos of my parents.

 

Here is a photo I just love of my parents in the South of France in the early 1960's...

 



And, here are some of my favorites I found while browsing the internet, ranging from the days of Downton Abbey to the Mad Men era...
