I like these kind of pictorial comparisons. They're satisfying on different levels. It's especially gratifying to line up the reference points, the things that haven't changed. Then there is looking in between those static points and imagining how and why the changes were made. And then there is imagining how much life those walls have seen. Thanks.

I doubt they moved the building at the right, so it appears the fountain/monument/whatever in the street was narrower back then. The space between that thing and the building to the right seems quite clearly wider.

I often ask my wife, passing that corner, why they don´t clear that dang obstruction out of the street. Sure would make ascending that hill simpler at the get-go. But, of course, it has historical significance and is, therefore, sacrosanct. We worship our tumultuous history.

I enjoy old photos of Pátzcuaro. Give us more, señor.
