I was so impressed with Carl Miller's "Then and Now" pictures that I was inspired to try some of my own. Taken in Falls Church, VA.

Thanks Colleen. The right side of the picture, including the man on the steps and the seated man, is from a photo taken sometime between 1860 and 1865. The left side is a photo I took this past Sunday, Aug. 17, 2003. #173230

You did a nice job here, Dave ! Congrats on your 2nd place ! I like your interpretation which turns a normally documentary picture into an interesting piece of art by combining a very old image with the new situation. Congrats ! #206257
