7 Photographs That Are A Piece Of History

History has given us priceless snapshots, portraits of the best and worst of what we have been capable of. Photographs that are drawings of curious moments that later, in the eyes of history, would have an invaluable relevance. Thanks to them we can know in part what the most important personalities were like before they became familiar faces or how the reflection that a war leaves on the faces of the people who suffer it.

Also thanks to them we have been able to freeze moments that would not be repeated later, such as the last Beatles concert on a rooftop in London in the late 1960s or the construction of the Eiffel Tower in 1880. We show you 7 photographs that are a piece of history.

Bill Gates in trouble

It seems that the co-founder of Microsoft and today the richest man in the world also had time to test the speed and not only when it comes to sharing computer files. Bill Gates’s great passion for cars led to him being pulled over for a traffic violation. His partner Paul Allen had to post bail.

So we see that you can be a philanthropist, committed, vegan and revolutionary computer scientist and be booked by the police. Here you have the priceless graphic document.

The Rolling Stones in the beginning of their eternal youth

The “bio” yogurts are fine, but it seems that “old rockers never die” contains a more effective formula to keep the shape (aids to digestion aside). This group of youngsters has shown that passion, indulging in pleasures and moving the hips does not seem so inadvisable, even after 50, according to the results.

“The godfather”, class question

You can try to have class and style, but no matter how hard you try, you can’t do it by trying. Either it happens or you can make a fool of yourself, even if you appear on many covers or have millions of followers on instagram. Here we see the image of a lady and a gentleman, with class and elegance intact on and off the set.

You don’t have to believe in God for a miracle to happen to you

Miracles can happen to you without believing in God, but by telling Stephen Hawking. In this photo on his wedding day, the British genius was already condemned to death by the doctors, but he had some pending “issues” to solve, such as black holes or the origin of time.

It seems that the miracle took place thanks to the struggle of his first wife Jane Wilde and the advances in science, which made it possible for his motor neuronal disease not to end his life in a sudden way, although his physical deterioration led him to a state of immobility. absolute. His sense of humor and his continuous scientific contributions make him today an example of struggle that does not cause compassion, but admiration.

To get to your destination you first have to build bridges

The Golden Gate or the well-known San Francisco Bridge that connects this city with Marin County was not always there, however emblematic it may be. It had to be built and it was the greatest engineering work of its time, back in the 1930s.

An ideal postcard for numerous films and a place so iconic that it has attracted not only countless curious tourists, but it was also the place chosen by more than 1600 people to commit suicide. In 2014 it was agreed to build a steel network to put an end to this grotesque and sad fact.

We say goodbye to Hachiko because we will never forget him

We say goodbye to this review for some curious photographs with a dog, not with just anyone but with the protagonist of the story who is capable of making us cry whether it is told in a movie, we read it or we simply contemplate this photograph.

What this dog and his loyalty to his owner seem to cause are tears in a timeless and universal way. Photographs are like this: they capture moments to perpetuate feelings.
