A group of people have joined forces to remember the history of their cities on Flickr with ‘Looking Into The Past.’
The collaborative ‘Looking Into The Past’ album of photos is done by taking an old picture to the spot it was originally taken, and documenting how it looks in relation to the new buildings. The result is a lovely collection of memories and remembrance of history.
Check out the Flicker collection of ‘Looking Into the Past.’
