Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Looking into the Past
Some intriguing images here, combining old photos into a current setting. Wanna try this with some of those local archive pics?

I reckon this could be a very disturbing exercise esp. with the people pics.
It reminds me of that substance, Slow Glass - from a 1967 short story by Bob Shaw, which has always stuck in my memory.

Flickr member "Roll the Dice" has a fascinating collection of old/new shots at the same London locations.
