I was living near the Haight-Ashbury that summer..Just a couple of blocks over..it was quite a time. I wouldn't have missed it for anything. I remember my dad came to visit and I thought he would have a stroke when he saw all that was going on. Nothing like Iowa for sure. LOL #8772772

Jeff- LOL, what a find my friend. Oh man, does this take me back. Love the title, can't remember the last time I saw a vw van. probable back at the time this came out. The colors, the composition, the treatment, so beautifully done. The colorful symbols painted on it sure do take us down memory lane and what this period of history meant. I am so glad I was a part of it, never will be one like it again. Thanks for the fond memories, at least what I can remember, with this gorgeous work of art.
Have a great day my friend. #8773700

You've discovered the 'Age of Aquarius'!<:))

LOVE THIS PHOTO, My Friend!!<:))

Nasty thunderstorms rolled through Philly (all day yesterday)...had to shut down the computer. I live in northeast Philly...an area known to 'attract' these storms (I-95 Corridor). Several years ago a Tornado (stage 2) touched down not far from my neighborhood. Luckily, no one was injured (it happened in the middle of the night...on a weekend). #8775000

This is a whole lot prettier than the ones from my youth! One of the guys at school used to drive his van down the ski hill, across the soccer field, and up another hill to the "Tree of Knowledge" (so named because we smart alecks thought we were learning a lot from partaking of the "portable tavern!" What Idiots! lolll #8777883
