This is the July 6–12, 1968 issue of TV Guide. The cover features a bright, energetic posed photograph of Barbara Eden, the star of NBC’s I Dream of Jeannie. She is shown from the waist up against a warm golden-yellow background that glows softly behind her. Barbara wears a vivid orange, sleeveless, ribbed top that highlights the era’s bold color palette. Her blonde hair is styled in a high, voluminous 1960s fashion with soft curls at the ends. She has an open-mouthed smile, her eyes wide and cheerful, and one arm lifted in a lively, celebratory gesture, giving the image a sense of motion and joy.
In the upper left corner is the classic red TV GUIDE logo in a white rounded square. Near the top edge, small text reads “15¢ Local Programs July 6–12.” Cover lines appear on the left side, including “TELEVISION, SOUTHERN STYLE” and “A Close-up of ‘The Flying Nun’s’ Alejandro Rey.” At the bottom, in small type, it notes “Barbara Eden of ‘I Dream of Jeannie.’” The overall look is upbeat, colorful, and unmistakably mid-century television culture.
A visit to the Museumsdorf Niedersulz, Austria – Part IV
Between historic rooms, long corridors and quiet garden benches, you can feel the calm rhythm of rural life from more than a century ago. The warm sunlight, wooden textures, and silence of these places remind us how slow and simple life once was.

The village features many typical Weinviertel front gardens, famous for their abundance of blossoms and colors. Between old wooden fences and whitewashed houses, these flower gardens show the region’s love for detail and tradition.

A Visit to the Open-Air Museum Niedersulz, Austria – Part II
Walking through Niedersulz feels like traveling back in time. The museum brings together historical buildings from across the Weinviertel — from humble cottagers’ homes to large farmsteads, complete with animals you can pet, old workshops (including a mother-of-pearl turnery), a traditional schoolhouse, and wine press houses. Each corner tells a story of everyday life and craftsmanship in rural Austria.
Once again, I learned a lot — not only about history but also about working with my Canon AE-1. Even in these photos, there are still many small details I could improve, but that’s part of the process — and part of the joy of learning analog photography.
The photograph shows the exterior of a historic rural house from the Weinviertel region, preserved in the open-air museum Niedersulz. The building has a long whitewashed façade with thick walls and a roof made of small overlapping clay tiles. Arched openings supported by sturdy columns form a shaded corridor along the front. Sunlight filters through surrounding trees, casting soft shadows on the grass and walls. This architecture, simple yet elegant, represents typical rural construction from the 19th century in Lower Austria, where functionality and craftsmanship went hand in hand.
