History in colour

[paralleloscope]

Saw these on FB and it really gave a buzz to see some of these colorized old photographs. New life and dimensions added. A few favourites:

it's very interesting :) feels like it brings the past closer to present.

Thanks for sharing this, parallel! I hope this does not sound too "nlp", but I feel that the color brings vitality and other type of reality, less ghostly and more closer. In any case is subjective, although many may have experienced almost the same with the change of something white and black to color.
