Strolling Through St Albert--A window into the past

Well I think we have rested enough. It is time to go back outside and enjoy this beautiful weather. So let's make our way over to Perron Street which is one of the main roadways in downtown St Albert.
If you look up you will see on the back of one of the buildings a rather unique window. It has an archive photo of St Albert from 1923 on the window pane
Very cool vintage photo...the window pane frames it nicely!

Well spotted, that's highly effective.

Old photos are such fascinating glimpses of the past.

Is that the actual view that would have been through that window? Very cool!

That is awsome and a great idea. The title is very fitting.

very cool!

Nice framing!

That's such a wonderful idea. Now what would you call this if a diptych is two and a triptych is three...maybe a quadtych ;o) xx
