I saw these some time ago. They're quite interesting photos of Imperial Russia

 

[Ajidica]

I saw them at the Russian Art Musuem near my house a year ago. They are bloody amazing, especialy the ones from Central Asia.

 

[Aleenik]

Some awesome pictures. Thanks for the link

I saw that the other day. Pretty cool. That aerial of Tblisi is my favorite as I bet there aren't many cities in the world that look like that today.

It's always amazing when you have full color pictures of anytime before World War 2. You grow up knowing about history through black and white pictures then suddenly a full color photo makes it all the more real!

All those people in that picture are dead now.

That scares the hell out of me for some reason.

They're so close and so far away at the same.

I wasn't directing it to you. You just made me think it would be interesting to compare the two pictures.

Sorry then

intersting to see that structure on the bend in the river lost all of its surrounding building aside from what I assume to be a church/catherdral. For a parking lot.

Awesome photos, seen the a while ago but always worth a look.

All those people in that picture are dead now.

Nah, its not that scary. I mean do you find this scary:




Now as for scary photography, my vote goes to 19th century post-mortem photography:

Spoiler :

Do not open the spoiler if you value your soul. I'll give you a clue, FrankenBaby.

 

[Adrogans]

Whoa behind Churchill that's quite a nose.

 

[Shekwan]

I hope he's French. I enjoy stereotypes being reinforced.

 

[Adrogans]

That was my first thought to be honest
