THE SITUATION FROM MANY OTHER OLD PHOTOS REPEATS.
An empty square stretched to the horizon as if something had taken away everything that was there with incredible precision. Single buildings here and there. No trees, or at most one or two. Sometimes even no grass, like in a radioactive desert after a nuclear explosion.
➡️ In the photo you can see a place in Norway in 1888, and then 125 years later, in 2013. Trees have grown, and new buildings have appeared. We even have grass and shrubs that were not there before!
What can it be about these endless, almost uninhabited spaces, resembling those of the Sahara, although it is Europe itself? Why is the overwhelming majority of trees in Siberia and Europe no more than 200 years old? Why are older oaks, several hundred years old, such as Bartek, unimaginably rare and natural monuments? Why in many cities old tenement houses are sometimes buried up to the second floor, so that the former second floor is now only a basement?
What could have happened there? We certainly don't know everything.
