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.

[@godkingemperor9782]

I don't think people would look at the 2000s 2010s and 2020s as a magical time that they would wish they could go back to. woke ideology has ruined it all. 50s 60s 70 80 and 90s where something else. if someone ever invents a time machine I think they would skip pass until all woke ideology is finally defeated.

[@HansDunkelberg1]

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]

@@HansDunkelberg1 yeah I think you’re right...about the ever same theory...I also get emotional when I see things like a building that my grandmother and I walked past 50 years ago, is still there-even though all around it has changed. Thanks for the insight.

[@HansDunkelberg1]

@@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.

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! Thanks for these b4 and after images.

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.

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.

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.

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..... Right?!

This is amazing!! Thank you for this comparison video. 😊 Happy new year 🥳

I moved to Toronto in 1974. Not much changed between 1959 and 1974. But the changes in the last 20+ years have been staggering. It would be fascinating to remember how downtown Toronto looked decades ago compared to now. Downtown has expanded horizontally and vertically by leaps and bounds. The CN Tower stood erect and lonely for decades until the domed stadium with its retractable roof finally moved next door. A marriage made in heaven 😅. Thanks for the nostalgic trip down memory lane. I very much enjoyed it.🎉

[@Shivagaming7746]

I don't know why I'm feeling nostalgia even though I never been to any of these places

[@HansDunkelberg1]

Of course you feel the nostalgia because you know that it has been similar at places you are familiar with.

[@hori166]

I went to the University of Montana in 1974-75. In 2017 I returned and climbed up to the M. I should have done it when I was 21, but maybe I wouldn't have appreciated the view as much. Thanks for these memories!

[@RobJakes-s3w]

I love history. This is one of the most awesome, interesting videos that I've seen.

[@shelleyreynolds5810]

I love looking at these changes. I don't know how you matched these places so well, excellent job ! Really fascinating!! I didn't know there was a snow covered mountain range behind Los Angeles.

[@janetdob6302]

LA in the winter is the best time to see the mountains. if you have ever been there in the summer, the smog covers them and you cannot see more than 5 miles away. Sometimes we had snow down to the 3,000 ft mark, which is almost in the San Fernando Valley. LA was a farming community. Each little town grew up and the ends of them began to blur into each other until it was one continuous city.

[@Paiadakine]

In the 80’s the smog was so bad you couldn’t see the mountains even if your were in Ontario.,

[@okjeffy6581]

I didn’t know it even Snowed in Los Angeles.

[@Paiadakine]

These are truly amazing pictures,memories of yesteryear, and now. I love history. Thank you for showing these.

[@cmnelson2923]

As the French writer said in 1849, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." Thank you for the trip down Memory Lane. I don't know any of these places personally. Nor am I old enough for some of the dates! ;) However, some are very close to places I can recognize and feel the pull of nostalgia.

[@tinkercedes]

I love how historic cities like San Francisco NYC, and London are. It’s like a time capsule like they’ve never changed

[@newmanoutdoors1564]

Agreed

Sometimes when alot came from these places...you sometimes can hear a whew...can it be done.

That photo of Utrecht. They did convert a road into a canal. But what is not known is that in the late 60's they converted a canal into that road. It was a full 360.

Nice music in the background. Not too overpowering, just right.

[@mateusdecarvalhobueno7757]

It's impressive how time changes everything and alters everything everywhere and in our lives, amazing that some places haven't changed much, but others are unrecognizable.

What a poignant trip and very nostalgic. Places I do not even know but the times are familiar, particularly the 1950’s of Toronto. The Berlin photograph from 1985 I can identify with since I was there in that year. The background music is also most suitable.

[@tarareads23]

It’s amazing how more things change the more they remain the same (can’t remember who originated this quote). Anyways, the places that are still there and the places that are gone. And the places that have been overdeveloped. McLean Animal Hospital is still there to this day. Thanks so much for the video! Loved seeing the comparisons and contrast and your personal photos too.

Not really - taken at two very different times of the year.

[@davidtilstone4814]

At 4 mins 10. The West End in Stoke On Trent. That was a surprise. On the left where the lady in white is standing, there used to be a canal. One day in 1894 a tram conductor called Timothy Trow aged 21 saw a young girl in the water. He jumped into save her. He saved the girl but sadly drowned. There is a monument about 200 yards along the road in his memory.

[@ChakatNightspark]

Just shows how things went from Good to Worse in many of the pictures over the years.

[@okjeffy6581]

To me, things went from Good To Better. Things are much easier now. Sure, i, myself some long for the past, like me listening To Christian music in my dads car in 2000, that agricultural field Trip I went to in 2002, meeting Riley for the first time in 2006, starting high school back in 2011, watching the new show TLH in 2016, heck I even feel nostalgic for 2021.
