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 will be 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 really enjoyed that, thanks for posting. Also made a bit more significant because 44 was the year I was born.

Really cool. I can even switch pictures on my iPhone. Can't scroll to the next photo though. I'll have a look on my computer tomorrow to see the other photos. Thanks for posting.
