Fantastic colour pics of Blitz-era London

Some amazing snaps from the period, both landscapes and the clothes people wore. I feel sorry for the poor messenger boy, though, that looks a hella warm outfit.

Such fantastic clarity …! They really bring it home how it was just yesterday to those who were there at the time … things looking so different - and yet so familiar ….
Thanks for posting!

The colours are amazingly vivid, especially the three women in the cardigans.

You know, I'm so used to seeing this era in B&W that it almost doesn't seem real in color!:eeek:
I guess it just looks *too real* in color, you lose that sense of separation by time.
