I guess these type of prints are a bit dated. Nah... I'm not old just things changing so fast. But I agree... nice bike.

I don't dabble much but I can tell you that in 1966 you didn't see conduit coming down from power lines and buried to go to homes, such as the one in the back ground. Nope, power lines were run from the power pole to your home or to a pole next to your home, there was no such thing as direct burial power cable. The transformers don't even come from that era. Sorry.

I've never seen a transformer that wasn't gray, and my first job in 1972, fresh out of college, was with Continental Telephone Company, and we had buried wire all over the place, in the same trenches as the power companies. That was the only way the REA's and local power's and telephone companies could deal with ice storms in the midwest! I've owned housing also since 1972, and I've never owned a house that didn't have buried power and telephone, and cable didn't even exist back then !
And yeah, that's me on top of that pole! Note the date stamps on all the pictures !
The second pic was also taken with the same Petri 7 camera, and that's the same Triumph Bonneville, two years earlier !Note the ARD magneto for proof! Also scanned in at just medium clarity! The original is much clearer. That camera was already 20 years old when that picture was taken !

RE: Photo question...
I was our school photographer for the yearbook in the late '60's. My advisor always wanted a Petri 35 MM (we used a Yashica 640, where you held the camera waist level and looked down into the view finder). A guy I worked with was a Korean war veteran, and he sold me his Petri, and I'm pretty sure it was for $30. (Mygross pay was $104 back then).
Look what I found....

This one is considerably newer, for about the same price!

Some photoshop programs allow you to create albums that can apply these sort of picture frames, which I suspect this to be.

What a bunch of experts we have on here! As well as doubting Thomas's! Whether or not the OP's photo is authentic, there's a whole lot of people who need to realize that there's a whole big world out there, and what happens in your neighborhood isn't what necessarily happens in mine or anyone elses!
