World War II: Then and Now
I love then and now photographs. Here is a collection of photographs taken in France before and after WW II. I am amazed at how little change there is in these photos. Even without a cataclysmic war our North American landscapes undergo tremendous change over the decades, not always for the better.

Interesting images.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been anywhere in Europe except for a summer in London around 1980. I was shocked at how old everything was. They were still delivering milk in horse drawn wagons in a major city.
On the other hand, there are a lot of small towns in Ontario that wouldn't look that much different today compared to 60 years ago.
I think the population growth in North America has been much greater than in Europe. That could explain why things seem to change so much here.
I've lived in Niagara on the Lake for 21 years. It has changed mightily.
