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.

I'm amazed that some of the buildings are still standing and restored. Thanks for posting, we enjoyed that.

I 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.
