Dia (Kita) yang Bukan Dirinya (Kita)

This photograph shows a Native American man looking over the newly completed transcontinental railroad in Nevada in the year 1869. Let's assume the man was around forty and was born in the 1820s. The changes he must have seen are astonishing. What this man is looking at, is the beginning of the end of the "quiet" world. Everything he knew is about to change; everything he's known will soon be forever altered by 'progress.'  Everywhere that railroad goes, little towns will pop up, towns will turn into cities, and small stores into companies. More trains, followed by trams, cars, motorcycles, and airplanes. -- @fasc1nate
