These Then and Now Photos Show How Things Change Over Time


Nothing in our life is constant. Time keeps changing everything. When we look back at our childhood pictures today, they feel almost surreal. Our hometowns have changed. Our cities keep transforming. Even the people around us have changed so much, proving every day that time affects every little thing in our world. Sometimes the changes are good and sometimes these changes make us yearn for our past even more.
In this collection of pictures we’ve shared below, you will get to see yet again how time affects everything in the world. These poignant images will certainly get you thinking. Take a look.
