a window in time... future Friday

These fascinating pictures present history in a way that is hard to deny,
a wonderful result of the wonders of crowd-sourcing.

I noticed a specific focus on glacial melt and Germany's many periods of reconstruction.
Churches are havens of safety that remain the least changed or demonstrate abject destruction,
streets full of carriages and horses are places of communities,
while cars have eliminated possibilities for personal interaction and created a global climate crisis.
And what kind of effort must it have been to rebuild a street, much less a city after a world war?

I am grateful for the value placed on preservation of historical sites,
and it makes me wonder--what kind of pictures will our great-grandchildren marvel at?


Before & After Pics Showing How The World Has Changed Over Time By Re.Photos
We are a group of people who love re-photographies (“before and after”, “then and now”) because of their potential to tell fascinating stories with just two pictures. There wasn’t really a central hub for this kind of art so we got to work and built re.photos. It’s a website that enables people to browse hundreds of pictures or upload and align their own.
Today we would like to share our excitement with you and show you some of the best pictures (in our opinion) our users contributed. Hopefully, these comparisons are as exciting for you as they are for us!
