followed the link and all I can say is wow. It definitely gives you a different perspective of history as if it were happening today. I never really thought about it but since I've seen so many pics of my ancestors in black and white and watched old TV programs in B&W you just tend to think of everything being B&W back then as strange as it may sound. Looking at those photos it reminds you that one day we will be the "B&W generation" for our descendants and seem so old and outdated.

Something tells me it doesn't look much different today in Uzbekistan and Khazakstan...

Very interesting pics...Some of the them look like modern photos. Its amazing the the perception of time is when you see pictures in color. Even though they are 100 years old, they look like they could be 10-20 years old.
