Short walk, slight ascent.
In this series we have taken some of our favourite pictures which may be familiar to you also and set you the challenge if you’re up for it of reproducing them, not as a ‘must do’ to claim a find, just an added interest when looking for the cache. We look forward to looking at your pics which you should simply upload to your log in the normal way.
THEN AND NOW.
We've uploaded an old pic this time and added 'our take', easy in some cases where surprisingly little has changed - not so easy in others where things have changed quite dramatically - buildings have gone or been replaced, tracks have re-routed and been replaced with roads, trees have obscured the view etc......
We have placed caches near to where the shots were taken so you may as well ‘have a go’ too. Have fun!
The original photograph here was taken in the 1890s when there was no colour photography. The ‘Then’ photograph is a Photochrome – in simple terms a colour photo, produced from a black-and-white negative.
Consistent with the series it is not always possible for one reason or another to totally replicate the picture we choose, whether it be a photograph, engraving or artists impression – it is simply to illustrate how some scenes alter vastly over the decades and some barely change at all.
