How Cool Is This

Unread post by Dancing Queen »

This is so cool I just had to share it, no idea how they do it but it is very clever.



Now this is an incredible use of technology---like travelling back in time.

Left click and hold on each photo, and then drag your mouse gently from left to right on the original photograph and it will be become a photo of the exact same location and view today. Drag it back to the left and you are back in 1944!

Scroll down for more of the same. Just fascinating!

Brilliant! Clever and fascinating. I love 'now and then' photos.
