And it really struck me as the years went by, in a very negative way, when I would go to some stream that I'd loved, and was used to walking through this field that was once filled with fireflies, and now had a strip mall or a bunch of condos on it.
E realmente impressionou-me, com a passagem dos anos, de uma forma muito negativa, ir a algum ribeiro que tinha adorado e estar habituado a caminhar por um campo que antes estava cheio de pirilampos, e agora ter ali um centro comercial ou blocos de apartamentos.
