Whether it’s human influence or natural causes, the world is always changing. But we do not always realize this until, for example, we compare two photographs. The physical change that every place goes through leaves a story behind it that is sure to be told.
We have created a collection “before and after pictures” to show you how much our world has changed over time even the smallest change over the years can make a huge difference.
