Then and Now

[tommymck]

I was thinking of having this as next month's photo theme (I'm picking it this time unless I'm mistaken...) but I ended up concluding that it'd be complicated and would limit responses. So, I have something easier in mind for that, but I thought that this was cool in any case. If anybody else wants to participate in this one, feel free, but it's not part of the photo challenge.

The idea is to find an old photo of a scene, and reproduce the photo at the scene location with your CB in it.

Here are a couple from my home town.

The first photo according to the internet is from 1890.



And the same location from today. The perspective isn't perfect and it could be fine-tuned, but it's close enough for me....



The town is famous for a few things, but mostly for the flooding that occurs on a regular basis. This picture was taken just after the flood of '52.



And a picture from the same spot today...
