Prams from Home and Abroad - Sepia Saturday

I though there might be a lot of 'Oohs' and 'Aahs' this week and I might not contribute so many. My first photo has appeared on Thematic Photography before but I think it qualifies for this week's pram theme.

I don't know what the collective name is for a group of prams but these are described as fashionable, I understand.

Then we travel to Norway to see something different entirely.

'Pram' in Norwegian is a flat bottomed boat.

Somehow I don't think that this fisherman's pram would have floated very well.

As you may know I took part in the A-Z Challenge back in April for which I chose a castle theme. Here's one I could have included for 'Z' if I had known about it at the time.

Now it's time to 'ooh and aah' for Doris Turnbull.
