The Internet is a wonderful place filled with delight and magic. Okay, okay, it’s filled with porn, arguments and people hating things just so they can feel cool. Let’s bring back some of the delight and magic, shall we? While poking around retrocomedy, I came across some really cool picture sets on Flickr.
Michael Hughes has a batch where he’s holding souvenirs up in front of the landmarks they represent and other such things. I particularly like the postcard Mickey ears on a Parisian Mickey Mouse and the sunglasses on the statue.

Inspired by Mr. Hughes is Jason Powell, who holds up old photos of locations in front of the present day location to create a second photo that is half past, half present. I guess that’ll have to do until we invent time machines. Check ‘em out. I especially like the half black and white half color ones, the U.S. Capitol under construction shot in particular.
