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.

Been posted in the past. Very interesting though.

it is like looking at ghosts from WWII.
-
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.
-
well i guess it's a good thing people can have their own opinions. I really like those photos!
-
Personally I'd rather see the two photos side by side rather than superimposed like that.
Still cool though!
-
Interesting pics here too (not in then/now setting 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.

well that view changed for me, juts read a book from Brian Greene about human understanding of space and time,
"The fabric of the cosmos: space, time, and the texture of reality"
Greene is into Quantum electrodynamics, in short, some physik tests (at LHC and others) shows there is no past or future, its just
a human feeling. Looks like everything what happend, we call it the past, the same thing applies to the future, it is allready done,
ok ok i know it sounds wired ;)
have a nice day

There is a human past, present and future. Whether or not it is the timeline of the universe could be debatable. Seems to me the question is one of scale... like Fahrenheit/Celsius/Kelvin. They all measure the same thing, it's just a question of the scale.
The complete abandonment of "time" is ludicrous. The human experience is defined by linearity, even if the rest of the universe has none. Also, if you take out past and future, all the causality of most of the precepts of science fade into nothing. Action/Reaction, without a linear time frame, becomes nothing.
Those pictures were unique, in providing a window on the human experience.
