The Village of Horní Vysoké's Transformation

What can photographs of one place taken 80 years apart tell us? The places around us really don’t change so radically — but still! What could have influenced what the village looks like today? How has life there changed? Look at the photographs, and the more differences you find, the more you’ll find out about the transformations in the Czech lands.
