Pretty common to see there. The area is a huge tourist draw and the local businesses roll out the red carpet. We met several people from the U.S. that rented campers and toured the area for several weeks.

TMatsI thought what was special about these photos was the care the modern day photographer took to retake the photos from
exactly the same place, with
exactly the same focal length, so that the features I the two pictures are both in the same place and the same size.
