20 Impressive Photos Showing the Endless Power of Time

Info

In the modern world, time flies really fast — our children grow up, our parents get older, and even our own faces turn into something different over the years. We don’t usually pay attention to all these changes because we’re too busy with our work, school, and other important things. But if we stop for a moment and take a look around, we’ll see that even the most seemingly stable things are constantly changing.

Bright Side made a selection of 20 truly incredible photos to remind you that time spares nobody and nothing.
