Day 27. HOPPY EASTER

On the road to Thoiry (1970) was taken by the Swiss photographer Peter Knapp (b.1931)  for the French fashion house Courrèges. The empty road and open landscape evoke a feeling of youthfulness and adventure, while the two graphic spots of colour - the space hopper and a bright orange Renault 4 van- are playful and nostalgic at the same time. There’s so much carefree energy in this picture it seems to say that anything is possible.
