I simply love photos from a century or so ago. Part of this is hereditary. Both my dad and grandfather were shutterbugs. Indeed, my grandpa was doing Photoshop stuff
(albeit without a computer and software) 100 years ago.
.
But I digress. The photos shown here are not family pics. They are from a link sent to me by a friend in Turkey. You can see the full set of these pics
here.
.
Yeah, the site's in Turkish. No problem. Just click on the links there to see pictures, some of which go back as far as
1865.
.
The photos are of
Izmir, one of the major cities in Turkey. FYI, it used to be called
Smyrna. It sits on the coast of the Aegean sea. One of these days I'll post some modern pics of Izmir. It's a place that I would dearly like to visit someday.
