June 14, 2010: 20 Years

Look around your yard, your neighborhood, your town/city.
What has changed in the last 20 years?
Probably quite a bit, businesses and buildings have come and gone.
Almost a sure bet there are less trees, and more buildings/traffic/noise.

But it's also a pretty good bet, the changes you see are not as extreme as Shanghai.




To see changes that extreme, you'd probably have to look in the mirror.

I thought maybe this bldg was a survivor, but I've already changed my mind. Looks like every single bldg has been replaced. Kinda sad, really.

I bet that's not even the same water in the river.

There are many of the same buildings. The two pictures are from different vantages so in the second the buildings are much smaller so you might not recognize some of them.

Note these..
Also a whole wall of new taller buildings are amost completely obscuring any older buildings that were in the old picture closer to the shore.

Your far right line is wrong, but the rest of them look to be spot on.

I don't know what's funnier:

the "Upright Vacuum" Bldg.

or

the "I SHIT" sign.

Am I missing something? the comparison shots do not appear in the OP -just the night shot with the added "labels"?

@Monster: Nope, it's odd, but there's no day shot to compare with the night pic, in the OP.

Maybe the day pic looked at the Vacuum Bldg., and laughed so hard it fell right off the forum?

I fixed it, the op picture had been overwritten.

I noticed another difference too. See if you can spot it.
