Looking into the Past (on the cheap)
by andytoots
Inspired by Jason Powell's and Sergey Larenkov's images, which merge the past with the present, I decided to create my own images featuring my home town of Stratford-upon-Avon (UK).
However, given that I'm notoriously lazy, I decided to go down the budget route. So I basically sourced some old images of Stratford-upon-Avon online, then merged them (using Photoshop) with the same view captured from Google Street View.
They're far from perfect, but it was a very enjoyable way to spend a few hours! If you live in (or know of) Stratford, hopefully they'll be of some interest to you. It's been a great way for me to learn a bit more about where I live.
