Köszi .

What is often is disappointing in old photos and video recordings is too much attention to historical buildings which did not change much since then. Interestingly enough, footage of just common street life may be more interesting nowdays, because it is gone. When I look on ancient photos of Prokudin-Gorsky, I often a bit sad that he did shots of world landmarks like old mosques and temples. It's not surprise, because he wanted to show the wonders of the world to his contemporaries and tried to not spend expensive photographic plates (he needed three of them for each color shot) for common life. But that common life is more interesting now than, say, Taj Mahal, because humanity still have Taj Mahal, but old street life is gone. Even though this video contains some shots of historical buildings, I'm glad that common streets are also presented.
