Let nothing trouble you,
Let nothing frighten you. 
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience attains all that it strives for.
He who has God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

There was a previous thread about these "blended" photos.

They are always haunting.

Click through for more pictures.  It is times like this I really wished my grandfather was still around to talk about what he saw!

This haunting collection of images shows what it would look like if the ghosts of World War II returned to our streets.
