Back before WW2, my mum (1917 - 1977) and dad (1912 - 1993) used to love touring on my dad's bike.  One picture of each of them was taken in a location that I thought looked nice, but that I'd never find it, sitting on a rock, with a mountain in the background.  Today, I finally found the rock...... felt good to sit there, and have my photo taken, around 75 years after the original photos.

How cool is that?  Congratulations! I like the fact that you took a black & white photo as well.  Job well done!!!

And what a coincidence with my mum (1917 - 1977)  Good thoughts all around. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Grizzly!  I still have the old Kodak bellows camera that must have taken the original photos.  Plan is, if I can get a film for it, to go back in summer, and trim back some of the vegetation that's grown on the rock (while nobody is looking - it's a popular area in a National Park!) and take another, as close as possible to the real thing.

Yes, in the Trossachs, at Loch Katrine.

You're doing well with your family tree to get back that far - I've been doing mine for 30 years, but can't get further back than the mid 1700s.  4717 people in mine!
