amazing how the color is added to old films...when I was a child in the 80's I thought everything in the old days was actually Black and White. I asked my Grandma 'Gran, when did you get to be coloured?' !!! (Kids say the darndest things..I'd be kicked off the show by Bill Cosby for being a racist N%gg*r!!).

.

Soon we will be able to see it in HD 3D from every angle.

Note the abundance of sparrows !!! Where have they gone?

One never sees that many these days.

i have seen some but not a lot which is sad as they are one of my most favourite birds of all time x

[philster61]

The sparrows have disappeared mainly due to domestic cats.

@theonlyantony Before I saw your comment I was going to say the same thing.

The little girl by the statue, she could still be alive now.

[xmaywildx]

that little girl is so adorable.

It's a short film but I got to say, it is beautiful. Where did you find it?

[deswalk]

Sparrows! You never see any now.

Those days still lots of horses around, their feed was good for the sparrows, also buildings had less defences against bird nesting.
