Highway Picnic
If you can guess what is happening in this photo, then we can probably guess what year you were born. If you were a teen or older in the early 1970s then you might remember when the price of oil skyrocketed, increasing from $3 to $12 in some countries.
In this photo, taken on November 4, 1973, teens in the Netherlands are enjoying a picnic on the highway. As a result of the rising oil prices, the country introduced a car-free Sunday which sent people outside on the streets and in places they would otherwise not be able to enjoy.
