Great saxo042 2008-12-12 8:56

Hi Elena,
You could also have pretended that the trees here were your primary target, their stems, in these different angles, are a fine contribution to the picture. And of course that very nice car, what year could make that be?
The whole situation here with the couple, the trees and the car are a very good picture of daily life in a big city, still quite near.
Regards
Gunnar

Default To saxo042: GAZ-12

Hej Gunnar,
thank you so much for your comment :)
You wondered about the car... Actually, I was in a hurry when posting this photo (in between lessons!!) so I wrote a wrong name of the car. This is GAZ-12 ZIM. I will make a correction in the note to the photo after I send you this message.

Here is the info which I found on the Net about this car:

GAZ-12 ZIM is a limousine produced in the USSR from 1950 till 1959 at the GAZ ("Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod" translated as Gorky Automobile Plant, which started in 1929 as a cooperation between Ford and the Soviet Union).

"ZIM" abbreviation stands for "Zavod Imeni Molotova" ("Plant named after Molotov"), which reflects the part of factory's official name at the time. Models produced after 1956 did not carry the ZIM abbreviation anymore.

Best regards,
and have a nice weekend!
Elena
