100 Year Photo Blog
November 28th, 02007 by Alexander Rose 
I came across this wonderful blog of historical photos recently. The photo above was taken in 1858 of the temple at Karnak. It is interesting to look up modern photos on Flickr of these same things. For instance the columns in the above photos seem to have all been excavated in the last 150 years and now you can see how tall they really are.

Just a thought on this post.
Summing in my mind the differences of time and space between the two pictures, the world looks like a living sculpture.

won’t be able to explain that by the variations of capture due to cameras technology (aperture, optical, etc…) ?

I think there is no technological enhancement of the images (the one on this blog and the one on flickr). Between the two pictures there are years of human excavations. Day after day, inch by inch, the temple imprisoned by the desert came out with all the memory it contains.
