some weeks just looking old photos and georeferenced the suitable
ones. Some of the idea was realized for the WW2 project:

Bostjan,
Thank you so very much for sharing this link, its been up on my
screen for the past three hours. Im really fascinated with how you
meshed the older photo with the panoramic one. I am thinking that it
would be likewise interesting to do the reverse with some of those
full 360 images in the Library of Congress collection (providing I
find the correct location of the shot).
But overall, this WWII collection is really remarkable. Being
Canadian, I wouldn't know if I were able to submit anything
comparable for WWII, however, our November 11, Rememberance Day
ceremonies might be a nice show of solidarity. I wonder if the other
Canadian participants would be interested...
Sean.
