RE: Cycling along the Peterhof Road

in Cycling5 days ago

It feels incredibly weird to try and imagine life back then with much fewer ppl living on earth and much more nature, without cars and any other modern facility. I would've been a lot cooler though if they had bicycles hahaa

Love the autumn colors

Come to think of it, it wasn't that long ago - even our parents lived in a completely different world.

Thank you very much!

Right?! I was playing around on familysearch.org the other day and was able to track up to my mom's great-grandfather who was born sometime in mid to late 1800's. The funny thing is that the farther we go into the past, the 'less we need to go' in terms of time to find more relatives, because ppl had kids so early in life and lived shorter lives. Anyways, we're talking about only four generations going back 150 years, considering we live up to 80 nowadays, that's nothing

It's like looking into a deep well and my head starts to spin. But no one would say that 20, 30 or even 100 metres is a great distance. Time is so much and so little at the same time.
