Wonderful Kodachrome II vintage photo

Shot in August 1969, near Castellammare del Golfo in the Campagna Known as Contrada Fraginesi. This is the country but it's only a few kilometers from town. At that time you could still see these old homes that were actually farm buildings but alas, this wonderful plateau flanked by mountains and overlooking the sea has become practically a suburban area saturated with villini or villas. Progress is what it's being called. I love this Kodachrome II image of a time gone by. The camera was my Canon FT with the Canon 50 mm. F 1:4 FL lens.

  The old and the new. Manhattan lower west side shot from the High Line.
