After raptorgirl's DIML photos, I found this on LiveLeak

I don't know why I'm sentimental right now, but this was a very touching clip. Nothing sensational about it, no car crashes (hardly any cars), no pedestrian injuries, no one is doing anything hilarious or even trying to grab attention except by waving TO THE FUTURE... because it was filmed in 1908. It gives you a peek at everyday Barcelona viewed from a tramway (streetcar). Some of the film goes dark in places, and there are choppy edits not just for time compression, but I'm sure because the celluloid had deteriorated beyond salvation. And the piano score is a delightful background.

Enjoy. I did.
