The magic of Photoshop time warps present day with WWII era

Holy frick (on a stick with a brick) this is spooky!  Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov has managed to combine old WWII era photographs with present day pictures to create a visual time portal.  Using simple but effective Photoshop techniques in tandem with perspective-matching images, Larenkov was able to blend war-torn Europe, including famous cities like Saint Petersburg and Leningrad, into what we consider normal, everyday life.  Above Georgy Zhukov of the Soviet Union glares into the camera standing on steps full of rubbish as tourists flock around him and his lieutenants, minding their own business.  The gallery below contains a bunch more enhanced images like this one, so check ’em out.  Want to see more?  Head over to Larenkov’s website and get sucked into a whole ‘nother dimension.
