"I get a real kick out of looking at the details of how things change". Too right, this picture of modern Meudon is a treat. Thanks. …wow. “I get a real kick out of looking at the details of how things change”. Too right, this picture of modern Meudon is a treat. Thanks.

On another rephotographing note - http://www.intwinpeaks.com/ - contains a plethora of images from Twin Peaks taken 'then' and now.

I'm still not sure about the "art" angle of rephotographing, because it really just seems too easy, but outside that concern, they're really fun to look at. Same kinda thing:
