EDITORS COMMENTS
Skipper Hornsby and Stella, a couple with a sense of adventure, cruise up the Thames on their trusty scooter in this amusing snapshot captured on a crisp autumn day in London. The year was 1965, and as they zipped along at an impressive speed, the iconic landmarks of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament provided a stunning backdrop to their unconventional mode of transport. This photograph perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the swinging sixties, where individuals embraced new forms of travel and sought out unique experiences. Skipper and Stella's amphibious scooter effortlessly transitioned from land to water, allowing them to explore both inner boroughs and riverways with ease. As they navigated through the bustling city streets towards unexpected destinations, laughter echoed across the Thames. Passersby couldn't help but be captivated by this unusual sight - two adventurous souls fearlessly gliding past traditional commuter routes. The Palace of Westminster stood tall behind them as if applauding their audacity. This image not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder that life should be filled with joyous surprises and shared adventures. Today, this vintage print transports us back to an era when humor mingled with exploration; it invites us to embrace our own unconventional journeys while cherishing those who accompany us along the way.
