What a good idea to show a "then & now" photo. The only constant in Dominion Square is the central sculpture. Thank goodness that hasn't changed.
Fascinating photo comparison Ken. That old building looked quite something too

I love seeing these then and now photos. So many things have changed and yet some things just stay the same :-D
There is a former train station turned into a hotel in London (the UK London) which looks pretty much exactly like this Windsor hotel.
Good post - nice to see how things have changed!
I think I like the old buildings best. Excellent photos.
It's always interesting to compare the old photos with the new views of the city!
C'est fun! Bon vendredi! Bon weekend!
Gorgeous, these shots are very nice and interesting. Congratulations!
I wonder what happened to my comment? Blogger must have eaten it all up. Great before and after shots and congratulations on your photo in the exhibition. Although it looks very modern now, I miss that lovely old hotel. Glass boxes, although full of interesting reflections, just don't hit the spot with me. I guess I belong to a more leisurely era.
Arija, happy to hear from you today! I guess you missed my email... :)
that is beautiful!
Interesting post of the 'then and now'. Great photos.
I want to go back to 1915! Great comparison, the past wins.
