Here by popular demand.

NorthWestern has created this as a part of our picture challenge. Most of us, I mean fazersharp, HarryHornby and me  :lol , like that so much so here we have permanent thread with your bike ride outs and pictures:

A picture with your bike in a Then and Now comparison with a historical urban  photograph. IMO it can be any old photograph picture or postcard too.

For example old postcard of Brighton pier Then and Now or

Such as these - This is Prestons Miller Arcade in 1902



So, you would find a pic like that, then recreate it with your Fazer in the shot, so this would be something like:



This is Miller arcade today (well, recent - not sure of the exact data...), It is clearly the same place but a different era.  Your Fazer would be in that picture.


The pic needs to be recognizably in the same place (ie you can't take a picture of a field, then your bike outside your new build house).

It can be abroad as well say Paris old Gare d'Orsay




currently train museum in Paris
Musee d'Orsay
and your bike in front  :)



Here it is Wokingham town hall then:



and now with my bike:

Nice idea. Even if you're not familiar with the places in the photo's, you can't help comparing them for differences.
