How things change

The first picture was taken about a half mile from where I grew up in Sacramento in about 1960 or 1961. The picture was taken looking towards the American River. The second is copied from Google maps of that same area today.

Your photograph has weathered well - good take.
Nothing stays the same and change is not always for the best.

Hops used in making beer are planted in the field. Lanyards are run from the horizontal lanyards down to the ground. The hop plants climb the vertical lanyards as they grow. The second picture is the Google maps image of that area as it appears today. Hop fields gone, replaced row after row of houses.

Thanks for the explanation. I didn't know how hops were grown.(I like martinis).
