    My great-grandma has a few pictures like this of her and her brothers playing around in the snow when they were little. The sleds that they used back then, though, were way different. Although I am fine with the plastic sleds that we use today, I would love to try out one of these old wooden sleds one day. www.hawnice.com/snow

    this is such a lovely image. It's too bad the quality is poor. I'd love to see more detail in this.

    Yes, the original halftone photo was very small (only 1.9 inches x 1.1 inches) so there isn't a lot of detail when it's enlarged. But it certainly is a great image :)
