Photos can be seen of as time capsules, offering a glimpse into possible life at the moment the photo was taken. People occasionally recreate those events in time in the same place. These great photo recreations range from a father and son at the Pyramid of Giza to the Arc de Triomphe 70 years apart. Thank you to r/OldSchoolCool.
