Very beautiful and inspiring!
Wow! Incredible pictures. Felt transported back in time!
When I see the pictures I have the impressions that they are from a different planet. Incredible… Thx
Brilliant….last image in the film Planet Of The Apes springs to mind…..
The sepia tones add so much to these photos.
Icons such as this and the Eiffel Tower seem to have been around forever, so it’s hard to imagine a time when they weren’t there! Photographs like these remind me that they haven’t been. Very interesting.
