Who thought pictures as old as 10 years could not be brought back to life? That is not the case for Einar Mansurov, a travel blogger from Russia. He has brought back his extensive globetrotting escapades into beautiful scenes. Such activities not only bring back good old memories, but create beautiful content for our social media platforms.
What possibly can go wrong if you reminiscence good old days? Pictures taken during his globetrotting adventures have been brought back to life with identical home versions. From the dressing, a polar bear mask and other identical equipment, he wants to take you back in time, but from the comfort of his home. Such enthusiasm is what keeps people sane during this self-isolation period!
The Steamy Bathtub in the Wild
The original picture was taken in Perm Russia. The custom made bathtub, complete with a steam brings the wild home. The contrast in the picture (bathtub in the wild) gives the image a unique appearance, signaling vacation at its best. A camera in hand and the serenity of the wild show pure bliss. He must be very good to capture such a moment.
The replica picture is taken, 79 weeks later in his home bath tab. There is no water in the bathtub and no fireplace beneath, but the posture and resemblance is exhilarating. You must applaud him for trying to re-live his life with precision and wittiness.
Surfing in a Man-Made Lake
His trip to Switzerland’s Lake Blausee brought this beautifully caption. The scene is beautiful, thanks to the brown leaves scattered on the water. He has a red jacket, his signature mask and double rowing surfs. Such captions bring a breath of fresh air to any excursion.
The replica picture is taken in his living room. Mansurov clothing and the surfing boat are the same, 78 weeks later. The floor provides a steady ground from which the boat balances. The transformation shows how two different scenes can suit the same purpose. What’s more in the replica photo is the pose resemblance, despite the contrast on the ground.
Looking Down the Inland Port
A tour to Norway in one of the globetrotting missions create this breath-taking view view. Two cruise ships are leaving the port, while a smaller boat approaching from the horizon. Seated on a cliff with his signature poll bear mask and light clothes on, Einar Mansurov seems to enjoy the view.
5 years and 27 weeks later, he takes a picture with the same pose and clothers in the kitchen, facing a river below. The idea of a water body seems identical in before/after images, but the boats were a worthy add-on. However, instead of a cliff, he is seated on the kitchen table. The inspiration seems to be “finding pleasure irrespective of the location and time.”
Heading Out to Surf
On the Lofoten Island beach, complete with the surfing board, he is dressed for the waters. He is dressed in a head to toe surfing costume with a red and white surfing board. The waves are building up, which is a sign of a good expedition. In the background is a rock on the shore, a feature common in Norway beaches.
The home travel photo was taken in the laundry room. The iron board top is the surfing board. The walls set the background while the floor is the beach. The 3 years 9 weeks transformation from home to the beach is one in a kind, as the attention to detail is impeccable.
Waiting to Snow Skate
We see him in the Otztal Valley, Soelden, Austria. What comes to your mind after the photo is skating down the Alpine snow. Complete with the tools of trade, this picture can be a good reminder of why snow games, though dangerous, can live on your mind to eternity.
60 weeks later, and the pose is still fresh and identical. From the clothing and the snow skating board, they all look real. Instead of a snowy mountain, he is standing on a couch. The difference between the before and after photos is: His shadow on the image, The right boot in the snow, and Background configuration.
A Fireplace is a Snow Forest
He travelled back to the Perm snow in Russia. A picture of a fireplace making some tea can create a good memory. On his left side, there is a cup, some fruits on a makeshift trey. The background depicts a scenic snowy nature; typical of the former Soviet forests.
14 weeks apart, he creates the same scene in his house. The makeshift fireplace is 3 pieces of firewood, while the kettle is a small watering can. Instead of fire, the imitated photo has blue and yellow coloured toys. The painted wall is the inspiration behind the snow forest. It is closer to the original Instagram profile photo.
Bed by the Lakeside Window
Still in the snowy Norway, Einar Mansurov takes a photo on a window next to a lake. He is just waking up, and the beautiful scenery of the calm lake is a sight to behold. The all-white theme in the picture captures the peace in the room. To crown the caption, his white poll bear mask enriches the plot.
The replica photo is taken next to a window looking outside 4 weeks later. The white sheet, leaning glass windows and a white surface are the inspiration for the new image. They usher in the morning light and provides a clear view of the sky.
Basking on the Rock
His escapades take him on tour in a middle of nowhere. He is lying face up, arms behind his head on what seems like a rock, a sign of relaxation and satisfaction. The image is taken from an aerial view and captures a cross-section of Mansurov and the black rock.
The home travel photo is from a wooden surface. The lying position, the clothing color and the poll bear mask remain the same in both captions. The only difference is the omission of the passer-by in the latter photo, which is typical on redone images.
Camping in the Snow Forest
The caption is part of his Instagram profile story on the harsh terrain in Russia. His travels take him around the snow forests. He is seen seated on the trunk of a track warming himself on the fireplace below. In front of him is an open tent which shields him from the snow wind and blowing off the fire.
The imitated photo finds him seated on a makeshift structure gazing out from the leaning glass window. Below him is a dummy tent to bring in the camping idea. The only difference between the two images are: The colour of his pants – the older image has black pants while the latter photo has grey pants. His legs – they are not visible on the older image but can be seen in the latter photo.
