On the Beach on a Chilly Day

Inspired by the theme on Sepia Saturday I found these pictures in my collection. I don't know who the people in the pictures are since the people who would know are no longer here. You always think you have enough time to ask about all those old pictures, but you don't.

This first picture is really a postcard - from the late 1950s it looks like.



In what appears to be a cold day at the Beach in Denmark somewhere around 1920. This one has my great-grandfather Laurits in the back sporting a moustache and a white cap.


The last one is of a cute kid on a beach wearing what looks like knitted bathing / sun attire with socks to match. Probably another cold summer day in Denmark.

  1. In the photo with your great-grandfather, everyone is bundled up in a warm coat except for one woman not even wearing a sweater. She must have been tough!

    1. Or - she is really really cold. She looks somewhat tense I think.
