Ghosts of Leningrad

Stumbled across this page. It's a series of pictures showing Leningrad during the war superimposed onto modern pictures from exactly the same place, angle etc. Very well done in my opinion. Sample here but there is loads on the page linked above.

Very impressive, though the Russians have always been good at Photoshop, even before it was invented, with the now you see em, now you don't, photos of Stalin's "pals" at the Red Square parades.

It's ironic that one of the photos had a hoarding advertising MediaMarkt, the German computer/electronics retailer.

That is excellent - I have seen lots of 'then and now' photos and even have one of a panzer man in Konstanz then and now, but never seen them displayed like that. Very good idea.
