Scenes of WWII… Then and Now
« on: August 03, 2010, 02:41:13 PM »
Hello, I found a very interesting website for you history buffs. The text is in Russian, but the photos are still great. Wartime photographs of a specific landmark are blending in with modern photographs of the same location.

interesting but its like comparing apples with oranges, you cant even compare the "yesterday" with today, its gone, its over, look forward. The old pics should stay untouched, it makes no sense mixing different time levels.

Personally I'd rather see the two photos side by side rather than superimposed like that.

Still cool though!

It is gone. Some people would like to forget. But the Majority can never forget the Atrocities and Horrors, lest History repeats itself.... again.

Without yesterday, there is no today.  It isn't comparing "apples to oranges", the past and present are directly in relation. 

I found those photos incredible.  Very nice find.
