A Feast for the Eyes

The title to the post I am linking to, “An Extraordinary Window into the Past of Russia.”

The description.

“I came across these color photographs of life in Tzarist Russia and they had me feeling like I was looking through a window into the past. Photos that are over a hundred years old always seem to be black and white and very posed. They leave me feeling quite distant. These photos drew me in. They look like they could have been taken yesterday. The children look so alive and yet they’re long dead. The monasteries that once were would soon become concentration camps and orphanages.”

Very cool.

Hit the link and get on over to Gene Expression and click on the links to those photos.  You won’t be disappointed.  At least I don’t think you will.
