The photohunt theme this week is classic. The bottom right hand photo is a classic photograph of my mother in Surrey (UK) in the mid 1970s.
The other photographs in the group above were taken by my parents in Greece and they are classics although not technically from the classical period of Ancient Greece. I associate The Acropolis (left hand photos) with the classical era of ancient Greece but I think it pre-dates it. The top right hand picture was taken in Olympia of a byzantine church facing the Zeus temple and I think it's a classic.
The little black dress is a classic in terms of a woman's wardrobe. I'm pretty sure the dress above was my mothers. I'm not positive about that but in any event I've held on to it because I think it's pretty.To find out about the Saturday Photohunters you can go to - PhotoHunt

my parents hardly kept any photos of the 60s and 70s. really wished they had so i could at least see how things were during their time.

These are all excellent. Love the dress and your mum looks very sophisticated. The acropolis is a place I would love to visit. Sara from farmingfriends
That is a classic photo of your mum! Haven't we all got one of those?
Thanks for visiting and to answer the question about where my mom was from. She was from the NC mountains in the U.S. The photograph of her was on a trip to the UK. Happy hunting to everyone.
What a great set of photos, I adore vintage dresses and those photos are wonderful.
Hi Carver,
you are a very brave woman. Let's continue to fight, fight, fight against cancer! I know we will win =).
The little black dress is a classic in my book! Great idea!
This is really neat!! The dress is classic! Happy Saturday! Grams

Thanks Little Polaris, I feel the same about you and admire your spirit. I agree with what you said!

Oh! The little black dress is definitely a classic. Good take!
Great photos for the theme Carver. I immediately think of Classical antiquity for this word. Little black dress, I never thought of that.
Very nice!

Would love to visit Greece! Thanks for sharing your memories.
I have seen plenty of old photos of my parents. Yeah they look classic! :D
I love the little black dress! It would be great for a night out!
I hope to tour Europe one day.
Great classic choices. Love the photo of your mother.
Carver, those are GREAT!!!
Oh yes the black dress is a classic, a must have.

Greece is one classic place. Great place to visit I bet.
A very good collection of classic photos. Greece looks like there would be a classic picture on every turn.
Take care,
connie
Aaah, why didn't come the acropolis into my mind... Great choice - and I love that dress too! :)
Happy weekend Carver!
Late to the party, but enjoying looking at all the clever stuff that people have put together.
Satkuru is right. We have hardly any pictures of our first ten years. Our kids have one for every day of their life. How much do you nee to document a life?
I love the photos taken by your parents. I'm wondering now where in Surrey that could be, I love the dress - beautiful.
Those are great classic shots.
Great collection of classics. :) I really like the photos of Greece!
greece would be lovely to see! all that history; and you are right - just flowing with classic art and architecture; it would be wonderful to walk among all that history
Thanks for visiting, everyone. I fear I would split the seams on that dress if I wore it before I lose quite a few pounds. I'm not sure where in Surrey that the photo of my mom was taken. Take care and happy hunting.
Interesting choices for Photohunt. You can't go wrong with the classic black dress.
Have a great weekend!
Those photos are so 70s, aren't they? and you can never go wrong with the black dress as a classic.
