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.

I like the picture of you and your grandfather in Tokyo and that the tree to your left survived and grew from a sapling to a big tree. I like the pictures also of you and your great grandfather which I'm sure would have made him proud.

@@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.

God bless the future generation and please look after your planet, it not like a house you can not move too another one.

Gracias por compartir, maravillosas fotos que hablan del paso del tiempo, de la vida en otras décadas, es una sensación de agradecimiento para todos los que vivieron en esos tiempo. Y gracias a tu abuelo también.

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.

Most of places seem to look better "earlier" than "now" (excluding the war pics, of course). That's great you have photos of your grandfather and made by him - you're lucky!

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.

Some, just amazing transformations. Thoroughly enjoyed the comparisons.

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?

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.

I just finished scanning photos from our family albums. The differences are amazing. A small oak sapling in our front yard back in 1980 is so big today that two grown men couldn't reach around it and hold hands!

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.

Great video and watching this from the UK. I'm not if things have got better or worse throughout the years. Good to see the Shambles in York not change at all. If you do this kind of video again, places like Todmorden and Sowerby Bridge have hardly changed.

It's always interesting to see how everything changes and... does not change ! Today in Paris region, more than in XXth century I think, the landscape changes very quickly ; in the very close suburbs of Paris individual houses with gardens are replaced by 4/5 stages buildings and the charming streets becomes ordinary streets. It's life but a bit sad anyway !

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?!

@@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.

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.

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.

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

The 2020 SF photo features a Volvo 240 model that was last manufactured in the US in about 85. Later models had one large square light that contained both low and high beams, making the car in this photo at least 35 years old at the time.

Amazing photos and nicely done. I can’t get enough of now and then.

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.

Wonderful! Emotional time travel is one of my favorite things to do! Two side by side feelings!

Bravo! Well done! I love the photo "From Fascism to Kabobs" [@6:13]. A very ironic, but very great illustration of how the world has changed! The best images of all are those you begin with, the photos of yourself in Tokyo, and your grandfather in the same location 100 years ago.

Thank you for the photographs of Buckhurst Hill Station reminds me of the 1960's. Central Line is so under appreciated. Grew up in that area.

excellent collection and effort to bring back old memories. Good to see the preservation of old buildings in impeccable form with minimum interference. Well done. Keep it up.

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

Thank you for sharing! This is super interesting & amazing indeed!

Love those older pictures...Was hoping you had a pic of Sunnyside, during the 1920s...Where they use to have that Amusement Park in Toronto...I grew up on Sunnyside Avenue from 1963 -2202 and it's a street I'll never forget.

What a blast from the past. I grew up in the Eglinton and Victoria Park area, even had an apartment at Biggin Court. Certainly wasn't expecting that trip down memory lane from the beginning of this video! Terrific, thank you!

Grow up on Victoria Park as well, but further south 2 blocks from Taylor Creek park. When we moved there Victoria Park Avenue didn't go through to the Danforth, it was a dead end street. I was hoping to see the construction of them putting the road through, might of been in 1961 or 2.

@@lee02jepson Lived in the Vic Pk - Eglinton area as a wee lad, Tinder Cres. The Queen came for a tour in '59 and wanted to see the new concept "shopping mall" they brought her up to the Golden Mile plaza... my dad got up on the roof of the place and took photos. These days there'd be snipers on overwatch up there.

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.🎉

I'm currently making a video where I drove a portion of route 66 in AZ and I did a few similar shots of a few of the cities...I love looking at the old vs current or fairly current photos...especially if I've taken the current ones. This was cool!

Well produced. The choice of music complemented the pace of the scene timings which were skilfully edited. A very thoughtful production.

Thank you so much, Patrick! We really appreciate it!

An amazing collage! The Hannibal Lectre montage was a tad creepy but kept the intrigue :) Cool vid :)

Thank you for the piece of history.

It's kinda melancholic for me to realise people in most photos are no longer alive. They had their vibrant colorful life & we millions of strangers today get a glance at them today. in 100 years there'd be people looking at the photographs from early 2000s and we'll be long gone when they're doing so.

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