Then and now

My BiL sent me this link of images in 1944 and present day, taken from exactly the same positions. if you left click the image, it fades from one to the other. Quite poignant.

You have to scroll down to get to the next photo, and the photo descriptions, if they fill your whole screen as they did on my PC.

Poignant indeed, and interesting to see how places have healed and somehow managed to stay so the same.

That's pretty cool MH, and some pretty cool looking places too..

Lovely, thank you

A lot of those places are about an hour north of here.
Very interesting to see the comparisons. Thank you MH.

Amazing.
Thankyou for this....

I’m always chuffed to see the trees in the first pictures have survived and grown bigger in the second pictures.
