Description:
St. Nil Monastery, Northwest of Moscow. Photo by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii.
What's special about this photo is when it was taken - 1910. It is one of the first known examples of color photography. |

Basically, this guy shot plates colored in primary tints: Red, blue, and green. He always knew that someday there would exist a technology to overlay his slides and produce an accurate color image. Nearly a century later, this is now possible.
His photos are remarkably clear (due to the type of plates he used, which don't age much) and the colors are as vivid as if seen by the human eye.

A collection of his photos, including the only known color photograph of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin in Kostroma, which was burned down by the Soviets in the 1920s.

If you hadn't said so, I would've thought this was a recent pic. VERY nice.

#3, In a weird way, it *is* sort of strange to think that the sky doesn't look any different now.
