K, David K....post some modern ones.
I AM SERIOUS!!!
I love seeing 'before' and 'after' pictures.
A coffee book of before and after pictures from the same spot and recreating the same composition and framing would be a book I would buy.
Some changes is so slow in the desert it is cool to try to see the differences such as the rock wall pictures from ESG trip to Las Animas is a perfect
example.

OK, Robert posted photos of San Borja (adobe ruin and stone church), San Fernando, and Santo Domingo. Here are my most recent of each (2017):
San Borja adobe (Franciscan and Jesuit period, 1759-1773)
The stone church from the Dominican period (1773-1818).
San Fernando mission.
Santo Domingo mission.

Every raining day takes it's toll on the adobe/mud walls.
So sad to see that only Borja has any protection.

INAH or ? has covered the adobe walls of some of the missions with some protective coating. Not at San Fernando or Santo Tomás, sadly. As you can see
above, Santo Domingo's coating is wearing off.
In the 1970s, Santo Tomás (the third/final site) had a recognizable building outline... Today, it is just a stub of a wall.
SANTO TOMAS, final mission site (1799-1849):
