20+ Striking Photos That Depict a Huge Difference

If you were to set a goal to track all changes happening around you, you’d be amazed at how different and numerous they are. For example, how a neighbor managed to turn his abandoned yard into a real oasis or how a girl you’ve known for quite a while lost so much weight, it’s hard to recognize her now. These Internet users shared their most impressive shots featuring huge changes.
