20 amazing photos of things that have been marked by the passage of time
Nothing escapes the passage of time, even if some objects are designed to last longer than others. Sometimes age and use take a long time to show, but one day or another ordinary things will be completely transformed as time goes by, often with surprising results!
Here are 20 people or objects that have morphed into something almost unrecognizable with the passing years.
1. The footprints of a monk who prayed several times a day for years on end
2. A pipe in a thermal spa after 6 months' use!
3. A brick wall, eroded and molded by the sea
4. A grandma and granddaughters' hands
5. A New York building mid-clean with walls blackened by grime from the state's coal industry
6. Two abandoned cars that are gradually being swallowed up by the surrounding forest
7. Two identical bears, bought at the same time. The one on the left was 'used' for 30 years, whilst the one on the right was put aside for a newborn grandchild
