Description
Way, way back in the day my family didn't get our milk by going to 7-11 or the local market. It was delivered several times a week by the milkman - driving a truck similar to this one. I remember my mother washing out the empty milk bottles and sticking them into a wire frame basket that had place for the bottles. She then placed them on the front porch and early in the morning the milkman, making his rounds replaced the empties with full bottles of milk and cream.
Experimenting a bit more with the "old-fashioned photo" technique - I like the results so far.
Enjoy

When I went on vacation to the countryside, the milkmaid (the farm's grandmother) would pass by with a small horse-drawn carriage! In her cart, she had cans of milk and filled the pots that were brought to her .... It is far far away, that time!
Nice capture!

It's all created in fun and memory of "the good olden days" ... I do recall it happening in Germany, (where I grew up) with horse-drawn carts as well, and ringing a bell at morning deliveries and when migrating to Australia, the same thing happened here, with one little difference, even leaving cash for the milkman at the doorstep.
The sepia background gives it the extra illusion, of times gone by so fast, or so it seems to me ;-)) well, done !

A very beautiful photo, reminiscent of a time when bottles of milk were on display in the morning on the treshholds to many doorsteps through the city of London, and of course elsewhere . As I was a student travelling through Britain, these bottles were quite a surprise to my French eyes and way of life ! Thank you for sharing this gorgeous nostalgic photo !

The combination of sepia and the color of the truck makes it really stand out.

Very nice. I really love the photo effects of this vintage look. Love these old milk trucks as well. I believe this maybe a Divo truck.
