The Ghosts of World War II by Sergey Larenkov

Taking old World War II photos, Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov carefully photoshops them over more recent shots to make the past come alive. Not only do we get to experience places like Berlin, Prague, and Vienna in ways we could have never imagined, more importantly, we are able to appreciate our shared history in a whole new and unbelievably meaningful way.

Wow, that picture of the Hofburg really drives it home for me. I passed it many times, and even attended the Officer’s Ball on the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Austria by the Allied Forces.  It was so surreal, knowing that half a century before Hitler was giving speeches from the balconies.
