Wonderful to see Chróstnik Palace fully restored. I'm so used to seeing beautiful buildings fallen into ruins, it is fantastic to see one brought back to glory.
@2:35 This in in the city Utrecht, in the Netherlands. It's on the corner of the "Griftstraat" at the "Blauwkapelseweg". I recognized it immediately, as my grandparents used to live in the Griftstraat in the 80s when I was young.
6:15 is a scene from 80’s Japanese TV series “Abunai Deka (Dangerous Cops)” which was heavily inspired by Miami Vice. The car in the photo is Nissan Leopard Coupe driven by the protagonists. Photo on the right is from their film-adopted final sequel which Leopard Coupe returned one last time as their cop car.
Amazing, hard to pick one. I am moved by the picture of the Crawford Notch Pass 1839 and Now. To see what it was like then, was so beautiful. The reason I picked it is because it isn't a building but the landscape that remains and you can see the past in the present. Thank you for making these videos!
Bear in mind the painting shows the Pass in autumn when the colors are more dramatic and the camera tends to flatten out the landscape. I've been through there and it's pretty dramatic. Also Cole might have embellished it a bit.
This reminds me of the old joke where the Polish farm was overrun by Russians, then Prussians every other year. Finally, the Prussians told the farmer he was now and forever a Prussian citizen. The farmer said, "Thank God! I can't take another Russian winter!"
Very cool! Thank you for putting this together. I have an old picture of me while in Ulm, Germany back in 1979 that I hope to get back over. One pic with me, then a one with my 2 daughters and then one with my grandchildren.
Really enjoyed this video, I, like many others, am having a hard time choosing a favourite. I live in an historical area of the UK and there are many small streets with tiny shops, so I guess any picture showing a Victorian area high street before and after really captures my imagination. In Plymouth UK we have a local historian who has publish many books showing Plymouth then and now related content and those small antiquated streets seem somewhat different but still recognisable. I am also drawn to images where the building has gone and there is a new building in it's place. This is more fun if you know the new building and are trying to imagine or remember exactly where you would have been in relation to the old Building.
@@Patches_0001 that's a matter of opinion. It might be alright if you're demolishing something that isn't useful any more, and replacing it with a better item. I don't think it would be very nice for someone to decide for you that they're going to annihilate, for example, buildings, then do it, regardless of whether they have the right to.
@@new-lviv why can't people just leave each other alone? We were taught even before starting school, that things that don't concern us should be left alone. If someone had something we wanted, then we would have to buy ourselves one, not take it from them. The world is being run by a lot of 4 year olds, going on performance.
Thank you for these great iconic photos. Some things just withstand the test of time, often times, barely! We must all try and preserve the history of the past the best we can because after they're gone there is no getting them back! This includes antique houses like my late maternal mother and grandmother's home built in 1776 in Yankee New England which is still standing where I spent the summer months in my youth along with preserving beautiful old famous landmark restaurants, hotels and historic inns! They recently closed down famous Durgin Park restaurant in Boston which served fabulous old Yankee New England food and drink with a great old fashioned atmosphere ever since 1827! For shame! Thankfully, I and my grown daughter have their cookbook, but there's nothing like eating at a famous landmark old restaurant since the 1700s and 1800s! Bar none! So please support the National Historic Preservation society and keep our old beautiful historic buildings and landmark restaurants , hotels, inns and theaters on the National Registry!
Thank you for the old photos from way back when everything was natural and beautiful better than today. The lord God gave us a beautiful country to enjoy and especially to take care of
I loved the world trade center how it used to be in 1997 and how the new building looks like nowadays. Everytime I see a picture of the twins it makes me feel sad for those who have been there in the day of that heinous incedent.
The picture of Boston before/after the Big Dig is great. This photo is showing just a bit of the beautiful aftermath. There are parks, fountains, art installations all along what is now the Rose Kennedy Greenway that snakes through the city and replaces the elevated green eyesore from before. The front of the TD Garden is no longer hidden behind that mess of metal.
Just love these, the fantastic difference with the scenes of the Hove Plantation in North Carolina then and now was a major change, and the Chrostnik Palace in Poland was to me another fabulous restoration job, and as always great background music to these photographs. Thanks for this, amazing.
Amazing how the photo of the palatial looking building in Ukraine is in the same dire situation right now as it had been in WW 2 and looks the same enough at 2:55.
Really amazing how time changes everything - either through war or simply nature, taking back what belongs to her. Well done video and very relaxing music! Well done! Hope to see more of this!
Boston's Big Dig.was my favorite. I lived it....3 hour traffic jams before it was completed. Underground with levels for trains is amazing. I was given a tour wearing a workers workboots!!
Victorian Southport hasn't survived very well here in Lancs. It's really upsetting. There's a cafe with all old photos on the walls, and they show all the lovely stone balustrades that existed. They were torn down in the 70s and replaced by white iron bars to make the town more modern for visitors. Just terrible! 😓
The photo from Scotland was the one that had changed the least. It really looked the same. I have to say from visiting in 1990 and then again in 2014 I have to say it really hasn't changed much. I love that.
I'm just THRILLED to have so innocently stumble upon this channel today. I feel as if I've I'm a soldier thats been away 2 long and have just returned back home where things make sense...
There are some beautiful renovations there. I was surprised. Normally great peices of artwork are replaced with ugly modern concrete? One persons selfish vision. That was a really good video that!
Whatever happened to people putting in enough effort in their work to be proud of the product? It's not a bad video but when you have to overlook things to understand or enjoy it sours the experience as seen so many times on YT.
