This Guy Layered Old Paintings Of London With Actual Streets From Google Maps

London, Remixed

The clever art fan remixed 18th and 19th-century paintings of London with screenshots of modern-day London from Google Street View. The result is a mashed-up photo series where modern construction cranes meet horse-drawn carriages, and cars drive straight into a band of parading knights.

Shystone is super-knowledgeable when he breaks down each piece and explains its context, too. Click through the slideshow for the coolest vacation you've taken in a while.
