Changing patterns of lifestyle
All these three photos I found somewhere in the Internet. And in all of them you can see same and very archetypical place Kaunas. This is our times - era of cars, planes and all means of transport :
When era of the cars was only in the infancy (sometime between 1935 and 1940) - there were more bridges then :) (Bridges were narrower but more dense - rely on your foots primarily :)))
And even more different patterns of lifestyle could be seen to the photo captured even when the trains era was in the infancy (photo from 1870s or 1880s) - now such number of ships could be counted only per year probably: ))))
