I’ve been recommending that people planning a visit to an unfamiliar location search for photos in flickr ever since I saw Gridskipper’s Flickr Guide to the Planet over two years ago.

It occurred to me this morning that if we can so easily travel through space, why can’t we travel through time? And then space and time?

Just search for a place (multi-word places, like “new york”, work best in quotes). Then a year. Round years like “1970″ appear to bring up images from the 70s in general, which can either be an advantage or a disadvantage.

Try these:

• 1984
• Paris in 1978
• New York in 1964 (World’s Fair)
