This photo was previously posted to N48550 page with photo credit unknown. I recently purchased the original slide from a seller from England on eBay. I rescanned at a higher resolution and reposted. It happens that the photo was taken the same month and year I arrived at AAB. I am glad that I was able to add it my collection.
