Here are a bunch of old postcards depicting normal everyday life street scenes in Sweden in the 1960s. Progress has taken its toll on all of these places and I very much doubt they look like this today. Altough, I do love the colors and how everything looked so casually organized and clean back then.

Boden, Sweden, early 1960s

Örebro watertower Svampen, Sweden, early 1960s

Näsbypark, Sweden, early 1960s

Metro grocery store, Stockholm, Sweden, early 1960s

A selection of excellent photos from the series "No lifeguard on duty" by photographer J. Bennett Fitts. Imagine sipping a cocktail by one of those pools in their heydays, groovy.

Sorry for the absence, been keeping my self busy with different things. Nevertheless, today we are returning to the World's fair held in Seattle in 1962. Going under the title Century 21, this is one of my favorite expositions next to the one that was held in New York two years later. Here are a couple of photos from it to better illustrate my point.
