23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Witnesses of Urban Change
The stone carvings have stood by the riverside for many years, silently watching the opposite shore. Whether it’s the changing shops, the renovations, or the shifting residents, they remain steadfast witnesses. The view across the river is blurred, for the development of a city is always marked by uncertainty. No one knows whether those old residential blocks will one day fade away, carried by the wind, and become part of the city’s history.
