    I've seen many good 'then and now' photos, John and yours are exceptional. A pleasure to view.

    Now with Street View, I wonder how many more we can come up with?

    Now, if we could just find a good photo archive....

    It's excellent to see some of those classics colorized, good show!

    Jeff, the colorization adds to the photos, especially the ones where the colors are somewhat muted. Thanks.

    Skipper and L;
    Thanks! The war was not fought in B&W and I do think that colorization MUST happen-if only to "set the record straight."

    PS. I have been fiddling with this hobby for a long time now and have developed my own techniques.

    You, of course, are right. The war was certainly fought in color, a fact we frequently forget since most of the photos are black-and-white. That last picture is excellent.

    Nice job on the colorization, Jeff. The last one in your first post almost looks like a photo of re-enactors, and I mean that as a compliment. :)

    I agree with TD, picture #4 in post 51 jumped out when I saw it. The Soldier closest to the camera looks like he is all of 15 or 16 years old. I don't think you would be able to see that without the colorizing.
