#132: Then and now
An old-fashioned church, surrounded with steel and glass on all sides. A Boston anachronism at its very best.

Siinä sitä sulassa sovussa, entisajan taloja ja nykyaikaisempia. Näin se maailma muuttuu.

Aivan ihana kun tuo vanha kirkko on saanut jäädä paikalleen…pieni mutta tärkeä..
May 14, 2009, 08:09Tuomas:
On my opinion this is quite good answer to the challenge. The transformation from old to new can be seen at the same picture in a nice way.

Somehow sun find his way to churchtower. ;-)

Hieno kuva, entinen ja nykyinen kohtaavat samassa kuvassa.

Pikkukirkko kuin puristuksissa pilvenpiirtäjien keskellä. New Yorkissa olen nähnyt saman tilanteen.
May 14, 2009, 14:29Kiva kuva.

Ihana vanha kirkko keskellä nykyaikaa ja isojen talojen puristuksessa.
May 14, 2009, 15:04Inkataika:
Miksi ihminen tekee kaikkensa peittääkseen valon? :)
May 14, 2009, 15:10Armi:
On sentään saanut kirkko jäädä paikoilleen. Tässä on myös mainiosti eri-ikäisiä korkeita taloja. Voi kuvitella, miten aina uusi on rakennettu mielessä tavoite päästä entisiä korkeammaksi. Inkataika: hyvä kysymys.
