Lately I am browsing through the big pile of old family pictures that I have, which is really great fun to do. There are so many surprises to be found there.
And so there is this pictures of my mothers family. I have seen this picture many times before and it always strikes me again…
What strikes me so much about this picture? Well, this picture was made a long time ago when my mother, who standing all to right on the picture, was still rather young. Just take a look at the style of clothes that the people on the picture are wearing. These are rather old fashioned… except of one person. The woman, my aunt Trees, who is standing third from the right is wearing a complete different style of clothing. It looks much more modern and because of that she kinda “pops” out of the picture. To be honest, I could imagine without any problem that someone would be something like that nowadays.
I don’t have much memories of my aunt Trees, but I do know that my mother told that she was a very strong woman who stood in the middle of life. The picture shows that in my opinion.
