With the approach of the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I in mind, Jeff Steiner has posted a series of postcards on his website, Americans in France, with ghosts of that war merged with a current view.  As I mentioned the last time I posted his images here, I'm again reminded of time travel, this time maybe even more.

Recent, indeed.  I've taken to comparing events in history to the life spans of people I've known, or who they knew, and it brings it into shocking relief for me.  WWI was a fact during the young adulthood of my grandparents, just 5 years before the births of my parents, one of whom is still alive.  In that context it seems like it was just yesterday.
