How time and people change the world around them (16 photos)

It’s good that we learned to record changes in pictures, it became much more interesting.





Time has no weekends or vacations, so it carries out its work constantly, which is why the result is so noticeable. We invite you, with the help of old and recent photographs, to evaluate how the same places have changed in different parts of the planet over several decades or even a century.

In some places the changes turned out to be extremely positive, in others it was the opposite - in any case, nature and people cannot just sit still, so the world around us can never remain the same.
