20 photos that perfectly illustrate the passage of time
Time marches on inevitably, leaving behind traces of its passage. You’ll see some examples in the photos below.
Over time, living things age and objects get worn out. It’s a reality that no person or object can escape. Indeed, time always leaves traces of its passage that you can see just by looking around you.
