An interesting scene which stands for itself. I've been taking pictures of my area for decades now. Some of the slides I'm now scanning will make good 'then and now' comparisons, and I have a list of about 250 sites I want to take for 2015 to ensure this continues. I think it's just another method of telling a story. The one thing that bugged me for weeks was the difference in perspective from pictures I took in the 70s to today. Last night I reviewed one looking through the fence of a local playing field in 1973 (now housing). Only then, it dawned on me that I'm a foot taller now...
