Proof of Time Travel

I was looking at a site about a ghost town in British Columbia called Bralorne because I worked up there on a forest fire in the late 80s. I went thru the websites photo album to see if I recognised any of the buidings etc when I came across this picture. This is a group of people attending the re-opening of a bridge in 1940 that had been washed away by the river. Something about the pic seemed not right and then I realised that there is a guy who obviously was caught in a time-warp. You can see him there in the middle with the sunglasses. Ten minutes before this photo he was in a dance club in Manchester listening to the Happy Mondays

Seems you're not the only one who thinks he's a time traveller!!

Well....yes and no..in fact the letered logo T - shirt, cardigan style pullover and even the haircut are pure 1940s style for a guy of his age. If you re-examine your reason for any 'dis-comfort' with the photo, you'll actually realise it's because he's not wearing a hat like most of the older guys in the picture.Stick a hat on the guy and he'd fit perfectly.

Doesn't proof anything at all, they have glasses like that in the 1940s and also, he looks like a homeless.

Impressive photoshop? Or just a contemporary anachronism?
