1944 vs 2014...
 
This is really neat!!




Now this is an incredible use of technology---like traveling back in time!

Left click and hold on each photo and then drag your mouse gently from

left to right on the original photograph and it will become a photo of the

exact same location and view today - drag it back to the left and you are back in 1944!

Scroll down for more of the same. Just fascinating!

I'm shocked at the number of buildings in the background that are still standing and unchanged.

These are so interesting. Did you notice that if you pull across the picture slowly you see the ghost of the old photo overlaid on the new photo. Thanks for sharing

I just shared this with one of my colleagues who teaches a course about "Families in the Military" and she was fascinated. She hopes to use this in one of her classes. Thanking you for these amazing photos.

This was very interesting to view. The beaches look so peaceful today. Life without wars, wonderful.
