We know structures and <A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rouleau/18086828/in/pool-nowandthen/">sky lines</A> change over time. Yet, the evidence of their <A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/guil3433/428721769/in/pool-nowandthen/">development</A> or decay—or both—still provokes <A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kockas/130354231/in/pool-nowandthen/">a thrill</A>. Some of the portraits capture city avenues <A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/guil3433/412985649/in/pool-nowandthen/">blitzed with natural disaster</A> in one year, and <A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/guil3433/420263330/in/pool-nowandthen/">blissfully serene</A> decades later. In others, the earlier days reveal <A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/randa/393685759/in/pool-nowandthen/">evidence of human habitation</A>, while the latter ones expose a surprising ebb away from it. We liked many of the threesome shots, like the building that went from school (1910) to garage (1981) to <A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mpr1/406798577/in/pool-nowandthen/">private residence</A> (2007). Rest easy, dear home. After all that change, it's also lovely to see parts of the world where <A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eric-baillargeon/93206176/in/pool-nowandthen/">the hands of time</A> have yet to work <A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bartmaguire/37315293/in/pool-nowandthen/">any change whatsoever</A>. <SMALL>(in <A href="http://picks.yahoo.com/picks/Arts/Architecture/">Architecture</A>)</SMALL></TD></tr></table></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9E6051BA-4EAB-4CBB-BD9B-B4E4C1A92E67/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
