Many of us are blessed to have several friendships but the following 5 friends did something different and made a pact to take the same photo at the same location every five years.
No time to go through the list? Watch this video of what these 5 friends did every five years instead!
They took their first photo in 1982 at a cottage on Lake Copco when all of them were 19 years old. Without missing a beat, all five friends showed up at the same location every five years to take a photo. The latest picture they took was in 2022 and even more than 40 years later, their friendship is something special.

These five friends posing for a photo every 5 years is one of the first articles we ever posted on this website way back in 2014. Eight years later, it’s so great to see these friends not only post another photo in 2022 but to have posted photos every 5 years over the past 40 years. We wish them all good health and happiness and can’t wait to see this amazing tradition continue!
These 5 friends that take a photo every five years truly define what friendship is all about and we wish them all the best.
Please share these awesome photos of friendship with your friends and family.
