Then and Now....Grace Lutheran

Well this is the last in my series. Located in the Oliver Neighborhood is Grace Lutheran Church. The top photo was taken in 1965. Nothing has changed with the buildings. However, the landscape has changed as there are a number of trees on the property today

[Dixie Goode]

This series was a delight to follow. What a fun project.

[Francoise]

I also completely enjoyed this series ... here's to a then-and-now redux!

[Diana]

Lovely shot. Love all the new greenery.

[Bep]

I enjoyed the series. Nice shot. Not only trees are 'new', but here is a huge building behind the church that was not there in 1965...

[mittens (Marilyn)]

It's amazing how much is grown in since the first picture. Great collage. I enjoyed your comparison series, Brian.

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome collage.

[Catherine]

So interesting to see the two images together and this has been a great project. Can't believe how tall that tree has become!

[Lou Ann]

I love this. The church looks better now! Wonderful architecture, so glad it has been preserved!

[gloria jones]

Great yesterday and today captures :)

[Kitty Hawke]

Goodness....that tree has certainly grown some !

[Chris]

Nice capture - in a way the new trees spoil the vista

[John]

I like the setting now. Quite a bit greener and more woody looking.

[Marcy]

Very striking how much the landscape has changed!

[Margaret Brown]

What a difference the trees make, for the better I think!!

[Pat Knowles]

Lovely before but even lovelier now. The trees add so much to the scene!

[Henri Russell]

I really am liking your then and now photographs. Very interesting.

[Ivan]

And rebuilt stone steps, I think. It's amazing how trees grow as I've found after moving here!

[Chris H]

So nice that its still the same and the landscape has improved lovely.

[Lynne Hart]

Glad the church has remained the same, shame about the high rise buildings. Have really enjoyed this series of before and now shots. Thank you Brian. Fav

[Lynda McG]

Fab! These comparisons work well

[Stephanie]

The height of trees is amazing and I see a huge apartment block has gone up behind the church. Nice the church is pretty much the same. I really enjoyed these then and now pictures.

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

I really like these comparison shots!

[Pyrrhula]

Great shots and captures.

[Dinah Pinkston]

Very cool comparison! I have enjoyed your series!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shots

[Debbie]

What a difference. Its interesting to see that the tree in the center looks to have ben only just planted.

[Renee]

Interesting shot of the changes made by time.

[Babs]

How interesting. So glad to see the building hasn't changed, but the greenery around it has altered so much.

[Granagringa]

What a difference in tone and the feelings evoked.

[Danette Thompson]

Beautiful contrast

[Karly]

Great to follow this project. The green growth is so appealing.

[Taffy]

What a contrast in time.

[Domenico Dodaro]

This was a very neat project! And it's interesting that sometime, landscape alteration is not man's fault!

[Denis]

Great before and after shots Brian.

[Yao RL]

the trees really enriched this place.

[Claude Trew]

Lovely images, so nice to see the before and after.

[Peter Grave]

Wonderful shot.fav

[haskar]

I enjoyed the series. Great contrast in time.

Great contrast in the weather, even if the building has not changed. I really like the trees and greenery in the second shot.
