We asked our readers to send in their best pictures on the theme "back in time". Here are some of the pictures we received from around the world.
Hannah Bruce
Hannah Bruce: "This was taken by my father in 1984 when he was 26. Three under six-year-olds gaming on the black and white TV."
Cy Lim
Cy Lim: "While I sat there and admired the statue of the couple from [South Korean TV series] Winter Sonata, for a moment, it was as if I travelled back to 2002. I heard their love song playing, I saw them walking in the snow, hugging each other and I could feel 'love is in the air'."
Richard Brown
Richard Brown was at the Harrogate 1940s Day: "I liked the idea that I was photographing a photographer who was photographing a man dressed as a US officer."
Weijie Sun
Weijie Sun: "These cabins were built in Finland in 1820. Now they are in Helsinki to represent a very old-fashioned way of living. The building includes a main room and a smaller room, that are connected by a vestibule that serves as a passageway."
Nigel Bruce
Nigel Bruce: "This photograph was taken in February of ice skating on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa, Canada. It wasn't until I got home and converted the image to black-and-white that it reminded me of the famous 'back in time' works by the English painter LS Lowry."
Alice Png
Alice Png: "In Singapore, change happens rapidly. Though only a young nation, modern-day Singapore already has remnants of her past swallowed up by nature. This photograph shows some ruins of an abandoned Hainanese village located inside Thomson Nature Park. Today, these ruins of building foundations, walls and wells offer visitors a glimpse of life in a Singapore kampong (village) in the bygone years - of a past that is slowly reclaimed by secondary rainforest."
Preeti M
Preeti M: "During the Covid-19 lockdown, my brother and I would spend most of the time with our smartphones and laptops. But my mother, who is 70 years old, would often thumb through photo albums, remembering and reviving old and forgotten memories, and telling us interesting stories related to the various photographs."
Richard Bowers
Richard Bowers: "These are some of the books I have inherited, going back in time, through many generations of my family. The family bible has a detailed list of births, marriages and deaths, going back to 1843."
Rachael Blakey
Rachael Blakey: "I carefully placed some water drops on to a metal spring, and captured the reflection of a clock on the water drops."
Peter Lawrance
Peter Lawrance: "Taken at a re-enactment day, I thought that this captured a traditional way of keeping fit back in the day."
Doris Enders
Doris Enders: "The school teachers' equipment in former times."
Iv Bush
Iv Bush: "A classic car seen on the streets of Edinburgh."
Kelley J Curran
Kelley J Curran: "Fun shooting with my pal Rachel, flashback to the 80s!"
Eros Dalla Sega
Eros Dalla Sega: "A different age, a different purpose."
Louise Cook
Louise Cook: "It was a shock when visiting the abbey to find the Daleks had taken over. A great memory from 2019."
Vahe Saboonchian
Vahe Saboonchian: "My parents have always had photo albums of their children and now grandchildren. This is a photograph of our daughter looking through albums of her photos. She loved it."
Verna Evans
Verna Evans: "This photograph of me and my teddy transports me back in time to my childhood and happy memories."
The next theme is "in my hand", and the deadline for entries is 15 June 2021.
