Time takes a toll on everything in life. Everything changes over time, both living things and inanimate objects. It might be sad, but it is reality. Some changes happen so gradually that no one really notices them until they are too far gone. The extent of these changes are only realized or noticed when a newer version of the thing is compared.
It is pretty interesting to see what wears down and how. Everything from the obvious items like shoes and hats to the more peculiar things like staircases and keys wears down with time. All it takes is a little bit of observation to see just how much time changes things. These images might inspire someone to take a closer look at the things around them to see how worn down they are.
Here are 25 images of how commonly used objects and very high traffic places have changed over time. Some of these might be kind of surprising to see, others might be a little bit funny.
