IMAGES: 15 Remarkable Colourised Photographs That Bring History To Life In An Amazing Way

One thing we really need to thank the internet for: colourised historical photographs. Of course, the phenomenon comes to us courtesy of Photoshop and the talented editors who transformed black-and-white images into digital works of art. We’re just happy we get to feast our eyes upon them.

Thanks to the Reddit community known as Colorized History, we have a plethora of polychromatic snapshots that bring history back to life. Behold, 15 of the best colourised photos on the web:

1. This boy clutching a stuffed toy in 1945 London.

IMAGES: Imagine Living In A Boeing 727. This Guy Actually Does And It Looks Unbelievable

Bruce Campbell is an inventive engineer who bought a retired Boeing 727 aircraft fuselage and upcycled it into an unusual and innovative home. The huge 3-engine commercial airliner is propped up on concrete pillars in a suburban wooded area outside of Portland, Oregon, and has its own driveway.

The aircraft features a makeshift shower, but he is still working to install a working lavatory and to restore some of the plane’s original interior elements, like seating and lights. Campbell lives in this plane 6 months every year, and spends the other part of the year in Japan, where he is also looking to buy and similarly re-use a retired Boeing 747 fuselage. The 10 acres where he’s building his Oregon home cost $23,000 when he bought them in his 20s, and the plane set him back $220,000.













Who knew living in a plane would be so awesome.
