Colorisation is the process that involves adding color to black and white, sepia or monochrome picture images. It may be done as a special effect, to modernize black and white films, or to restore color films. The examples date to the early 20th century, but it has become more common since the development of digital image processing. As you understand this Colorisation can give excellent results in historical photos that depicture airplanes of the previous century that probably never haven been caught before in color film. When we first saw the amazing work of George on the net we thought that it would be interesting to ask him some questions about his work and methods he uses. He as an exchange created a colorised picture of F-84G Thundetjets of Hellenic Air Force for us.

We tried to collect some photos of airplanes that flew over Acropolis which is formally proclaimed as the pre-eminent monument on the European Cultural Heritage list of monuments on 26 March 2007.The Acropolis is a flat-topped rock which rises 150 m (490 ft) above sea level in the city of Athens, with a surface area of about 3 hectares. In a few words for any who does not know is the most common symbol of greek nation and democracy since it was built under the leadership of Pericles during the Golden Age of Athens (460–430 BC). Phidias, a great Athenian sculptor, and Ictinus and Callicrates, two famous architects, were responsible for the reconstruction. During the 5th century BC, the Acropolis gained its final shape.
