50 Cool And Interesting Photos That Show How Time Affects Things (New Pics)

That dirty is from the exhaust of cars, trucks, and buses, not powerplants. we still run on coal plants. In NYC the only operating power plant in NYC proper is a coal plant that has EPA wavers to operate because of how poluting it is. We used to get 1/3 of our power from Nuclear, but with Indian Point shut down, they reopened a few coal and oil plants upstate to replace the power because "nuclear evil" or something. NYC uses more coal and Oil power now than we did 30 years ago

I once saw buildings in Montreal being washed and it blew my mind that air pollution could do that.

No comments about the physical graffitti album? Wow

All the people who breathe in that c**p

London too

Vastly prefer this to the shiny boobs statues.

Actually close. It's clean on the parts that were pet. The dark is the bits that aren't touched and are blackened by time.

In Hungary we have a male horse statue in Budapest. Guess the part where its worn down 😮

It's worn down from so many people tripping over it!

The petting is golden!

I like to imagine the thoughts of the folks who have to ascend/descend those stairs: dammit, it seems like I've been climbing these stairs for a thousand years... When will they put the washer upstairs FFS!

A visitor to the Parthenon should take A LOT of *caution* if you takes the steps up to the Areopagus (Mars Hill) right below the agora. They're so worn down by more than two millennia in use and crazy slippery. I was in my early 20s and an athlete but my strength and agility were really put to the rest.

Soon to become a slide

Is it easier to use the left-side climbing and right-side descending?

That and, well, rain and wind.

It kind of looks like a horse's leg with a long hoof.

My cat do that in 2 years max.

Maybe get some more scratch posts? 🤷‍♂️🙃

I wouldn't sit on that.

he's winning

In "The Velveteen Rabbit," the rabbit became real because of the immense love and devotion given to him by the child who owned him. One of these bears is real now.

Nah, the old worn ones are the ones that dreams are made of.

Aww. A Velveteen 🐻

Steiff :) I still have 3-4 of my childhood Steiff animals (2 for sure are stuffed animals and one is a purse)

So much loved.

If that was my mother's, when she passes I'd put it in a shadow box or something and hang on the wall.

Needs to be hung in a museum

Thx for my new wallpaper

Looks like a very large piece of bacon.

I would gladly have that in my garden!

Its oddly satisfying to look at

The idiots who destroyed oregons famous duckbill rock. Or the ones who vandalized the rock Clark carved his name on during the Lewis Clark expedition.

Hope it falls on the influencer.

A rock bouquet for the mermaids

People don't realise that 10 Downing Street (where the British prime minister lives) is actually the same colour as the white house in America. Like this church it was so dirty it looked black. They cleaned all the bricks and realised it was white and decided to paint the bricks black because it didn't look right white.

coal smoke does that.

One of the icons of Detroit's 'Cass Corridor.'

No. The stone was blech.
