Thanks for part two of your trip - I like these now and then photos, where you can see how the places have changed and the trees have grown - really cool.

I think, we have all been the same when we were kids. Now, that we are older and have our own children, we think back and wished we had spent more time with our parents, but I think that parents understand ;)

Thanks again for sharing the photos, @oldmans 😊

Thank you, it was fun trying to find those old places and line up the shots. :)

Yeah, you are right it is just a normal right of passage for a teenager. I remember understanding that better when my kids went through that stage.

I think scanning in all my parents old slides and seeing the images again made me a little melancholy. Especially since they were no longer around to talk about them. In the end it was a very rewarding experience and helped me reconnect with my past. :)

Yes, I thought, that some places would have been quite hard to find, and some might even have not been there anymore.

My son is so very the same as I was in his age. I can understand my parents much better now, and I can also understand him and his sometimes !DERANGED behaviour ;)

Looking through the old family photos is always something I enjoy - some photos are funny and some make you think...
There was no photographer in our family, so I only have "normal" family photos ;) lol

I did a lot of pre-searching with Google Earth. It helped a lot. :)

My kids are 30 now but I do remember them "leaving" me for a while but they are back now. lol.

It can definitely stir up some emotions viewing the old images.

I use Google earth a lot too, when I plan to visit a new location. It's a great tool :)

My twins are only 17, what means, they are still at home, but I know, what you mean - they are here but most times not really somehow ;)

As long as everybody is still with us old photos are fun to view, but I can imagine, if beloved people, which are already gone, are in the photos it can get very emotional.
