Recreating a Seventy Year Old Scene

After the hugely generous and kind response I received the other day to my 100th blip, I mentioned having met some wonderful people here on blipfoto. When I wrote those words, I had no idea the depths of kindness some people were prepared to go to.

Early in July, RichieBoo blipped a photo of the Whitley Bay Lighthouse, jogging my memory of a brooch I have, showing the lighthouse, which had belonged to my mother. I didn't find the brooch during my search, but I did come across four postcards, sent to my mother during World War II, by my father.

I photographed one of the postcards for my blip that day, of "The Promenades, Looking South, Whitley Bay", and included the notes that my father had written on the back of each postcard.

And guess what RichieBoo did? He travelled back to Whitley Bay, and took a photo of my postcard scene, on the Promenade, just as it is today!

And that's not all, he also turned the photo into a recreation of my old postcard from the 1940's!

How special is he??!!

For my blip today, I present to you the postcard shot, taken today, by The Most Generous and Kind Blipper of All ~ RichieBoo!

Thank you a million times over, RB. You really are the best!
