Flickr member jasonepowell has created this new series using old public domain photographs and holding them up at the places they were taken. Way cool.
Images are made by finding old photographs of places, printing them out, and then holding the print up in the modern day location that the original photograph was taken. So far, all historical images have been available for free at the Library of Congress.

There’s a ton more of these. The guy who did it originally created a flickr group for it. Check it out here. I even saw it featured on CNN a while ago.
