Objects or People older than 50 years for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge.

The featured people are older than 50 but their clothes  – traditional German costumes from the south-western part – often are too, truly so or re-created.  Obviously, I have a penchant for hats.  The men all wear the traditional form called tricorne or cocked hat which was worn by older, more well-to-do burghers.
