Oradour-sur-Glane
The photo above was taken in 1944, shortly
after the destruction of the village. This view is looking toward
the curve in the main street where it goes south to the Lower
Town. Compare this photo with the one below, taken in October
2004, which shows how much the ruins are deteriorating.
The photo above shows the main street
of Oradour-sur-Glane, Rue de Emile Desourteaux, looking toward
the Upper Town. The photo below shows the same street as it looks
today. Note the stairs on the right in middle of the photo below,
which are the same stairs in the foreground on the right in the
old photo above. Note the tram lines in both photos. Note the
shadows in both photos, made by the sun in the west in the late
afternoon.
