Sometimes an image really transports us through time - the clarity of this enhanced paget plate acts as a portal to another era. It was taken 112 years ago, before the onset of the Great War. It is the Oxfordshire village of Whitchurch-on-Thames in 1913.
It is original colour and not colourised.

For a moment though it looked like it had an Instagram filter on it.. ( can't remember what the effect is called now. It's some sort of blur)... Amazing how similar it is to the modern version.
(Physical tilt-shift systems are awesome, though: much more capable than the filters)
They make thinks look like they are toys or models.
I like it.
