Stereo Photographs

Continuing the current trend of 3-D, The Boat Lullabies has been posting a series of amateur stereo photographs taken in the Salt Lake City, Utah area in the 1940's.  Stereo photographs appear as 3-D when viewed through a special lens.  The site displays the photos by rapidly alternating the left and right portions of each picture to show the three dimensional effect.
