Fotógrafo reposiciona pinturas e capas de discos no Google Street View, local onde foram capturadas

Morning Glory de Oasis. This 1995 Britpop classic was shot on Berwick Street in London's Soho, what was then an, um, oasis of record shops. Sister Ray, seen on the left, is still going strong today

O artista Halley Docherty do jornal The Guardian, tem usado o Google Street View para criar diversas séries. Halley recolocou algumas pinturas clássicas e antigas capas de discos exatamente no local onde foram capturadas ou inspiradas no passado. Alguns lugares permanecem quase iguais, outros, nem tanto.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin. The East Village residential blocks on St Mark's Place, New York, remain virtually identical to how they looked in the 1970s, with the exception of some more physical graffiti

Animals by Pink Floyd. Battersea Power Station in Wandsworth, London has fewer flying pigs now than it did in 1977, but is otherwise pretty much the same – though the Nine Elms project will change all that

Northumberland House by Canaletto (1752) Northumberland House, to the south side of Trafalgar Square, stood from 1605 to 1874. It was demolished to make way for a road. Now it hosts a Waterstones bookshop. Photograph: shystone/Reddit

Nighthawks (1942) by Edward Hopper. The location of Hopper’s subject has been widely debated, but seems to be on the south-west side of Mulry Square, where Perry Street slants.
