Thanks for the link. It's interesting how the past can seem so distant when viewed through black & white, but so near and real when viewed through color. Some of the images on that site were taken before WW1, but look like they were taken yesterday.
This reminds me of a photographer (I don't remember his name) who traveled the US in the early twentieth century capturing images using a primitive form of color photography. I believe he intended to use the images for postcards, but the venture failed and his photos languished undiscovered for decades. Someone made a book from the photos and it completely changed my perception of the past.
