Back in the day each building had it's own character because of the architecture. Now everything is basic cookie cutter steel, aluminum & glass. When those old building's were demolished the US lost a part of it's individual identity and history, IMO. Bringing those old pictures to life in color really shows it too.

@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669 20 күн бұрын

Architecture was built by Old World artists and craftsmen back then. Expert Ironworkers, plasterworkers, woodworkers and marble workers. Then came WW1 and most were killed or went back to Europe without turn-keying their knowledge and artistry to any apprentices here.Then income tax came in and most people couldn't afford a grand house. WW2 of course solidified it. And that's why homes today are basically cookie cutters. They're cheaper and take alot less talent and artistry to construct.Sadly.

I'm back, look at My Lunch Break, it will explain more@@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669before we had the ability to make automobiles these buildings went up. That's backwards. Today look at the cars we have and we can't design even one building like they built. I imagine they flew around and it packed up into a briefcase.

lol - thats totally normal. People from the 1800s probably said the same when they saw more and more new built buildings made of bricks..... Same with medival forts and buildings etc etc. - Building and architevture evolve - or do you want to use the old technologies from 1850 ? Drive a horse instead of a car?

I have a family photo from my great-grandfather. He was Irish and worked on the railroads, building them, not an engineer. The photo has writing on the back stating that it's a picture of his railroad crew, and they had to of been Irish as well. It's an original. I do not know exactly where the photo was taken but it had to be before 1869 because the railroads were finished being laid by then. I'm loving this video! Thank you for putting this all together! I can find to photo if you'd like to add it to any future videos.

The destruction of the magnificent trees which took so long to grow always fills me with sadness ... and the fact we are still destroying rain forests.

@LazyIRanch Ай бұрын

Those photos of the destruction of magnificent trees is truly heartbreaking! When I was eleven, my dad took us on a 3 week vacation where we landed in LA, rented a car, and drove to San Francisco. We saw many of the usual sites; Disneyland, Hearst Castle, Fisherman's Wharf, but the most impressive place for me was visiting the giant redwoods. I was awestruck, and I stayed awestruck! It's the greatest spiritual experience of my life to be among such ancient living things, and the air was unlike anywhere else I've been. Clean and woodsy, and words I don't have to describe the feeling of breathing it all in. "Sacred" comes to mind, and I'm not a religious person.

What a great video. You realize how technologically advanced life was in the late 1800s & early 1900s. The woman who's recharging her 'not a Tesla' is one example. However, what I'd really like to know is, where the picture at 16:23 was taken. The city is advanced enough that there are stand pipes (under the man's foot) that are charged with water for fire fighting. Also, embedded in the sidewalk are purple glass rectangles. These are placed In the sidewalk to provide light below the sidewalk. The only place I've seen them are in the Pioneer Square section of Seattle. Light is needed because of Seattle's underground city.

Very interesting, and I seance a little hummer in the odd photo on your part . The man in dress and his wife in the suit , a bit of photographic licence perhaps . I’ve also resisted the temptation to google whether horse diving was a pastime , in those distant days . And it it’s also telling the lack of diversity, apart from Native Americans . The harsh realities of the time may give understanding to just how far we have come , despite everything . Best wishes and kind regards . 👍

I believe in late 1800s early 1900s there was such a bird flying around only to get shot and killed by locals. The folklore of the Moth man and Jeepers Creepers likely came from this area of the photo taken here. It was likely a killer bird when confronted by humans of many gone missing only to be found of body parts and pools of blood as any witness would of been scared seeing such a sight of relating it to be man like due to its size in the DARK. Jeepers Creepers and the Moth man came from somewhere of events and sightings of a similar creature of the picture here.
