History has a way of repeating itself. So, there are often moments when we come across a picture- thinking it to be recent- when we find a counterpart of it from ages long dead. In fact, if we were to put the pictures side-by-side, it would get really difficult for anyone to differentiate the time period between the two pictures. Today, we have 20 of the best side-by-side pictures that you can find on the Internet. They will surely get your creative juices flowing.
Let’s Take A Look At The Top 20 Side-By-Side Pictures Compiled In 2022
1. People Change, But The Truck Remains The Same
Sometimes your father is carrying you in his arms and standing before his favorite truck- and sometimes, a few years down the line, he is still doing the same. The difference- you are a grown man now!
2. Thank You For Your Service!
Veterans barely get the respect that they deserve- so let’s commend this man on serving in the army at the age of 18. Also, for a 77-year-old man, he does look pretty good.
3. Wedding Dress Conundrum
Who knew that a wedding dress, bought half a century ago, would still be perfect for a modern-day wedding? Well, this granddaughter definitely did! She wore her grandma’s dress to her own wedding.
4. Your Parents Were Kids Too!
There was a time when your dad was taken to school by his mother. While it does seem like that took place during the ancient ages, why not recreate it for the cameras now?
5. Doppelganger Alert!
If you are ever in doubt that you are your father’s son, take a look at this picture. It does look like the father has been superimposed in both pictures. And eerily enough, the children are also looking in the same direction in both pictures!
6. Harley Davidson Girl
Women who ride Harleys are really cool. Interestingly enough, it doesn’t matter if they have ridden it now, or 71 years ago. As they say, once you have ridden a bike, you can never unlearn it.
7. Working With The Hand That Brought You To The World
Imagine working with the same OB-GYN that delivered you! On one hand, it would be really cool. But on the other hand, they did see you when you were covered in blood and other bodily fluids. Well- it is what it is, isn’t it?
8. Cameras Are Really Powerful Now
Imagine spending a few thousand dollars to get a really professional camera in 1937 to take a hazy picture of the Statue of Liberty. Now, imagine buying a used iPhone, and taking the same picture- only for it to be considerably better. The pixels have improved- but can the nostalgia be bettered?
9. Happy Wife, Happy Life
Sometimes you meet someone and know that they are the one for you. It doesn’t matter if you both haven’t hit puberty yet. Wait for it- the time will come.
10. Endings And Beginnings
A poignant picture- where an end doesn’t have to be THE end. From moments of utter grief at the loss of a loved one, to moments of utter happiness at gaining another loved one, this family has come quite a distance.
11. The War Is Never Pretty
Look up any city that came under any major war, and look at the city now. The differences will astound me, but so will the similarities in the buildings around it.
12. Adoption Goodwill
There is just something really peaceful and jubilant about watching a couple of puppies that you adopted grow up into beautiful dogs over the years.
13. Social Media
When people waited for transportation in the early days, they either had a newspaper or conversed with someone. We do the same thing today too- except it takes place wholly on social media and nowhere else.
14. Photocopy
Images stay behind- a sentiment of the days long dead. And it doesn’t really matter if the images are taken by a camera or a photocopier- as long as the people in it are happy, now and then.
15. Cat Or Your Majesty?
Who knew that the innocent little kitten that you brought home one day would grow up to be a majestic cat with a mane that is both glorious and luscious?
16. Bugatti Has Come A Long Way
If you put a 1930s Bugatti beside one that was released a few years ago, you will find just one similarity- class. Every Bugatti, without fail, has class if nothing else.
17. Samoyed Huskies Are Really Big!
There was once a puppy who could fit in your lap. But now, they have grown up to be the size of a wolf.
18. Omaha Beach
What was once the main center of the D-Day Landing has now been turned into a lone beach- used only for commemoration.
19. Rome Didn’t Look Like This In A Day
Rome also served as quite an important focal point during the D-day landing, and if one checked out the massive tanks that once patrolled the streets, they would be glad to see nothing but tiny cars hurtling nowadays.
20. Normandy
The French town of Normandy looks completely different. For one, there aren’t weary, depressed soldiers holding on to gates and walls.
