And another bit of clever photomatching. "Whether it be with thousands of tourists queuing or soldiers parading in victory or defeat, Paris's most iconic landmarks are as recognisable today as they were when the city was war torn. A clever collection of composite images by French art director Julien Knez brings together scenes from 1940s Paris with peaceful pictures of the city we visit now. September this year marks 70 years since the end of the Second World War, following last year's milestone marking the anniversary of the Liberation of Paris from Nazi occupation in August 1944. It is now the spot where the Tour de France concludes and tour buses routinely pass by. Other images show fearful Parisians hiding behind cars in Place de la Republique and behind the fountains of Place de la Concorde, while soldiers are marched under armed guard past the Louvre, where today thousands of tourists queue to visit the famous gallery." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-3067154/Then-Incredible-composite-images-compare-iconic-Paris-attractions-Nazi-occupation-today-s-tourist-traps.html#ixzz3ZAxwlj5J
Gordon, these are simply amazing pictures. The ability to match wartime photos with current places is uncanny. Good stuff. Thanks for posting.
Great stuff, Gordon. Thanks for posting the link. That's a pretty clever way to present the Then & Now photos. Photoshop at it's best!
