Running around the internet, through the magic of social media, I learned about an impressive project someone did using old WWII era photos of Amsterdam and splicing them with photos from today. The result is a color and image mix that not only shows you the impressive similarities and differences between then and now, but also shows you what was a very difficult time living in Nazi occupied Amsterdam.

The creator, a self proclaimed retronaut, explains on the site that he got the idea when he got some old negatives at a flea market, and then decided to go to those places and take a photo now. His work is worth seeing. It also makes me think to try some of the flea markets around town and see if I cant find some old photos for my own retronaut experiment.

Here is an example of his work, follow the link to see all the photos:
