Sepia Scenes: Is it the 1950’s?
No, it’s South Fourth Avenue, taken with my camera set to sepia color!
See the post below for sepia photos of homemade bread.

Hello Leora,
The cars, both shape and number revealed the year.
The mid-fifty feeling is definitely there.
Silent and dignified, half asleep, half waiting for something undefined to happen.
Like being youg.

Carletta says
The cars really are all that gives it away.
This reminds me of the street my girlfriend lived on when we were teenagers.
It's a great shot Leora!
East Gwillimbury WOW! says
Dang those cars! Otherwise you could have totally fooled me. ;-)
This street appeals to me. I like the big, older homes.
Leora says
I actually had a shot without the cars. But I kinda liked them. Glad you are having fun with this.
EG Wow: Highland Park is full of small, older homes (and a few big ones). Hard to get a 4 bedroom. I think those are two-family homes.
Ralph says
The Volvo on the end, although modern, does not take the 1950 out of this picture. Sepia makes the shot look older than it is, and perfect for that era...or this one too. Perfect!
Tricia says
Fantastic sepia shading! It really does look as if it was from that era! Really nice!!!
Mojo says
It could certainly pass but for the cars. If you could get a shot of clothes on the lines in the backyards, you could sell it as 1950 -- or even earlier -- and nobody'd ever suspect differently.
Dot says
You could have fooled me because I didn't notice the cars until I read your comments. The bread below looks so good!!

Ilana-Davita says
Great effect on this row of houses. I like the trees on the rights too.
Ilana-Davita says
On the"right" of course. That's where the "five-minute edit" button would come handy.
Leora says
Ilana-Davita, you have convinced me to give that 5-minute plugin a try!
Robin says
The sepia really does make it look straight out of the fifties. Even the station wagon could almost work.
Great choice.
Jew Wishes says
How classic and beautiful the photo is.
AscenderRisesAbove says
sepia is definately the color of memory
Patti V. says
It does look like the good old 1950s..what a nice neighborhood!
I think I see Donna Reed waving from the living room window ;-)
This is a perfect photo for sepia, Leora

Shinade says
wow very nice and just perfect for Sepia. Without the cars you would really think that it was in the 50's.:-))))
annie says
Good mood picture. Definitely not the 50's I don't think they posted Slow Down signs in neighborhoods back then. LOL
maryt/theteach says
Great job, Leora! Sure does look like the 50s! Happy SEpia Scenes!
marLou says
