    Who
    My name's Anita Wirawan and I love stories :).

    I read/watch a lot of stories and like to share the most interesting and unusual ones here to see what everyone else thinks about them.

    Why
    I had originally started this blog as a way to get things together after my brother Jody died back in 2008, but it's turned into a lot more than that.

    I hope you'll find the stories that you need here.

Crossroads – Ghosts Of The Past Step Into The Present

Tuesday, Aug 3rd, 2010 by Anita

Check out these great pictures by Sergey Larenkov, they’re some of the most interesting pictures I’ve ever seen. He made them by juxtaposing historical pictures with ones from present day at the exact same locations.

The results are really haunting and tell some interesting stories. It’s made me look at the world around me a little differently, who would be stepping out of the picture here?

Here’s a few of my favorites (click on pictures to get the full effect).

Ghosts on the corner of a street in Berlin.



Soldiers on the steps of the Reichstag in WWII.

Just another day for some…

Awesome huh? Check out Sergey Larenkov’s LiveJournal page to see the rest.
