Here are some links to very unusual photo sites. Russia 100 year ago, Extreme photo-montages.

 

Russia in colour, a century ago.

The amazing colour photos by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) who was the photographer to the Tsar Nicholas II. The photos were taken on glass plates between 1909 and 1912. see:

I am very fond of his "Quotidiens" and "Bibliothéques idéales" collections.
