Slice of life late 1960s

Trip in the desert to picnic feast of Sheikh Nasser, Qatar, Doha, depicting the wives of Shell employees. Photo made by Gusta Haas, probably in 1968.

“Tochtje in de woestijn naar picknick feest van Sjeik Nasser, Qatar, Doha.”


Holiday in Tirol, July 1967 or 1968. Judging by the name “Café Prakticair” printed on this photo it was made by the cafe operators. The man behind the pillar is probably my grandfather.

My mother on holiday in Yugoslavia by bus. I haven’t geolocated the lighthouse yet. The photo was probably taken on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. It was easy to imagine yourself a movie star in those days.
