Great way of showing the passage of time. Do all of these old buildings still stand? Maybe you could take some photos of what they look like now, for the sake of comparision. Or maybe they all are gone. <br />Best wishes,<br />AnnaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926688000745346961noreply@blogger.com
