    Or then it really is just two completely different pictures stitched together.

    Not stitched together, it’s 2 different pictures taken on the same film slide. You can see the same church a second time from a different point of view, on the right side of the city.

      Bingo. It looks like the landscape and the buildings are from completely different locations, overlayed on the same photo either by double exposure of film or digitally. Pretty cool photograph of a "ghost town"🙃

        Looks like it was probably done digitally. Two photos in separate layers, set blend mode to “lighten”, and then selectively mask areas you don’t want the effect applied to.

          It was done digitally, but not selectively.
          I literally just added the brightness values of both pictures, which gives the same effect as a classic analog double exposure (taking 2 pictures without forwarding the film in between).

            Oh, nice. I didn’t see the effect at the bottom of the picture so I thought it might have been masked. Good stuff.

              Yeah, the bottom of the picture was literally all black on one of the exposures (the hill you see on the left side covers the entire lower half of one frame).
              That’s what makes the effect so subtle, and what makes this one of the pics I’m really proud of.
