it’s not true that it’s over crowded. in fact recently it’s been thru a downturn. i was there with my wife 6 months ago, and found most of the time that we were alone in poignant places like the one in the photo above.

With bright contrasts, the picture is amazing. Does it always look so ?

I have heard so much about this place that I can not wait till next year. Next year planning to go there & your posts will come handy.

I agree with Theresa. The contrast works great.

I heard that excess tourism has led to this place being very unpleasant to visit these days
