My childhood has clean eyes
Such pure innocence and playfulness in each of these photos! They were taken from old archives and demonstrate something that never changes, despite the change of epochs and centuries. Yes, this is the true beauty of children, their sincerity and, of course, children's spontaneity. They have no thirst for fame or greed for money, all they need at this tender age is love and joy. Take a look at these photos and remember your happy childhood!
