    What is most interesting about these pictures is that these places were simply a part of the lives that experienced them. We look back in nostalgia because it seems almost magical that these people lived their lives in these frames frozen in time.
    One day, 100 years from now, people will look back at our own pictures and imagine the magic of the transition of time. To us, we are simply living out our own stories and existence.

      Perhaps that one made you emotional because you saw how nature continues to develop on a basis of the ever-same rules, knowing how many artificially man-made events have happened within those 73 years. Like the trees have grown, so has the population of the United States and of other countries around the Pacific Ocean.

      @@JF-NYC-NJ-Girl You begin to wonder, in such cases, what time altogether is. You seem to experience islands of time. When the inhabitants of such a building continue to live in their old habits, they read the same dates in their calendars like people who more strongly adapt to changing customs. Meanwhile, already the sort of calendars they use - perhaps, e.g., such still made of paper - conjure up different feelings than the modern, electronic ones.
      The Pacific Ocean affords that sort of synchronicities between different eras to an unusually strong degree. Modern, European civilization has developed at the northwestern end of the Old World, while the Pacific, with its islands mainly located in its own southwest and hence in the southeast of the Old World, has all of a sudden - especially during World War II - been inundated by 20th-century technology from its Japanese northwest and shortly after this, durably and also inwardly on a more modern level, from its US-American northeast. Noticing how time is relative, in the resulting cultural collisions, your attention will again and again be drawn also to certain other, more general questions of how the entire cosmos of your feelings comes into existence.

    The Utrecht Canal mentioned at 1:54 is actually part of the "singel", a waterway around the old city. So it used to be water, but in the late sixties when more cars started to enter the city and a huge shopping mall was built, the city thought it was a good idea to turn part of the singel into a road. At first you could do highway speeds on it but that was quickly reduced to 70 km. 30 years later, the city changed it mind. The mall and whole area where redesigned and it was decided that the pretty much useless "highway" should be part of the singel again. Work finished about a year ago.

    How captivating. I have many photos of my old neighborhood while I was growing up. And I must say that in the 50 years since I lived there, nothing has really changed all that much. The old theater we once went to and paid .25c to watch double features on Saturdays is still here only now it's a Playhouse, the same buildings, same apartments, same homes... even our old house is exactly the same. Not even the siding has been changed... the 6-foot privacy fence my parents put up is still standing, and the old Oak tree in the backyard is still there as are the flowerbeds my mother planted herself. All of the people after us kept it all up. It's amazing how some things change so much and others remain frozen in time. Time has passed, I am much older now and have children and grandchildren of my own now, and yet whenever I want to revisit my old hometown I'm taken back to the days when all the children I grew up with played Hide and Seek after dark in the summer, played softball in the field behind my best friends apartment building, we rode our bikes and walked every inch of that neighbor as kids. Now several generations of children have done the same. How nostalgic is that? These photos show just how industrial man is, and our ability to rebuild after times of tragedy, how we expand our world to accommodate the growing population. I wonder what our old photos will reveal in another 100 years.

    Please note: 1:54 Utrecht, the Netherlands, They Converted The Highway To A Canal: Back in the '70s most of the historic city center of Utrecht was demolished to make way for some crappy shopping mall (Hoog Catharijne). Among the many things that had to go, there was the old city canal. It was converted into a highway through the city center. After years of struggle they finaly decided to restore one the many scars left in the '70s, the once canal that was converted into a highway was reconverted into its original state.

    As a ' modern' person I think the medium of photography is an invaluable tool. It captures a richness that the printed word or pictures drawn on a canvas can not. As time marches on comparison photography captures for posterity's sake what is arguably considered progress.
    My favorite is the most chilling/depressing one......of the Artic. It captures how impactful humans can be on the planet. Why not the atomic dome? Because what arose from the ashes of that horrific event depicts how we can overcome tragedy. So it begs the question, how do we rebuild all that ice.....

      @@oooloo99 Granted, cyclical change occurs in Nature e.g. the Earth, the Sun, etc. But mitigating factors such as the burning of fuels can drastically exacerbate the negative effects which we are experiencing/witnessing with climate change. Changes that do not originate from Nature. While mankind has virtually no control over what Mother Nature does, it does control it's own behavior. And that behavior can adversely affect Mother Nature. And you know what they say....... it's not nice to fool Mother Nature.

    LA was one of my favorites. Love the early beginnings of towns. Just a few buildings here and there. I love history. In all our towns someone was there before us. Even with buildings dated 1889 or 1920...there was probably a wooded building before that and before that perhaps native Americans. Its just neat to think about and seeing the remnants of a bygone era scattered throughout town. The hall marks and even tool marks on structures by folks long gone. And yet we enjoy the foundations they laid so many years ago.

    My favorite one(s) Toronto , more recently compared to 1959. I could relate more, thinking about the changes in the city in which I live. I was 8 in '59.. downtown was thriving.. not so much now with urban or should I say suburban sprawl. Most of the buildings still stand but are occupied by fast food places, a few trendy shops, and lofts for lawyers renters and massage therapists.. sadly, quite a few sit empty. The times they are a'changin. But I can walk the streets and remember - or think I do, what it was like!

    Makes me sad so many of the family photos of my childhood home vanished during the move to central Ohio! I had an opportunity to revisit the old hometown a number of years ago, & took pix of my childhood home. The only things subsequent homeowners have added is expanding the bathroom over the pantry (t'was very cramped!) & finally, finally, *finally* someone put a railing on the long front steps!!! (I lived in hilly southern Ohio.)
    In winter, I used to have to sit on the steps & scoot my way down, step by step. Any other Midwesterners have childhood memories like that?
