Park City's transformation

On August 9, Mike Wright‎ posted a photo on Facebook taken in 1959 and showing how Park City looked like from the its ski slopes that did not exist yet.

Yesterday, I tried to frame the same picture with all the current construction and infrastructure, and put both on top of each other for all of us to compare. Too bad the air was so smoky with the raging western fires that the picture isn't as sharp as it should, but it still sheds a brutal light on the breakneck speed of change that has affected our little community.

Most of it has been to everyone's benefit, but how much farther can we safely go?
