Photos 1944 to 2014

[Benny Holiday]

A buddy sent me this link, I think you'll all find it pretty cool.

Just click or click and hold on each photo, and then drag your mouse gently from left to right on the original photograph and it will be become a photo of the exact same location and view in 2014. Drag it back to the left and you are back in 1944!

Thanks Benny, that is truly a great sight! It reminds you, what a peaceful world we live in, if we could just learn to get along.

Yup, they say time heals all wounds . . . even to the landscape.

Thank you for ths. Humbled by the sacrifice of those in the earlier pictures and so glad to be alive to experience the passage of time.

I wonder how many of those pictured are still living.
