Wooden buildings often aren’t arbitrarily red.

Falu red (pronounced “FAH-loo”, in Swedish it’s Falu rödfärg) is the name of a Swedish, deep red paint well known for its use on wooden cottages and barns for preservation. The paint originated from the copper mine at Falun in Dalarna, Sweden and consists of water, rye flour, linseed oil and tailings from the copper mines of Falun which contain silicates iron oxides, copper compounds and zinc. Falu red is still widely used in the Swedish countryside.

Photographs of the Swiss Alps from Nick and Maggie DeWolf’s 1959 vacation.

Nick (who graduated from MIT at 19 and eventually founded Teradyne Corp before abandoning the technology industry and moving to Aspen, Colorado) passed away in 2006, leaving behind a prolific collection of over 50,000 film exposures, which are steadily being processed, scanned and uploaded to Flickr by his son-in-law Steve Lundeen.
