Looking Into the Past

This is such a beautiful idea it’s untrue. I was reminded of it by a post on Warrens’s site.

Looking Into The Past, a Flickr pool devoted to combining old photos of locations, buildings, and people with the present day scene. The ones with the most impact have the photographer holding an old photo in front of the camera lined up with features in the scene.

Summarised from laughingsquid.com

It’s incredible how little some places have changed really. There’s a gallery of some of the best images here. Elliot also noted that you can refine the search in the pool to just London. Not many there yet but hopefully people will take more soon.

    Very cool. Realised you can filter on London: http://www.flickr.com/search/groups/?q=london&w=1051492%40N21&m=pool
