Sample Photos:

The main court gives the feel of a village in the 1900s, but the black smithing shop, is somewhat timeless and would have existed until the 1950s. The woodshop would be any woodworker's dream with all the old tools and ample space to build a small sailboat.
The Fort Langley National Historic Site is a great place if you're into history. A blacksmith shop, a woodworking shop and a traditional house kept the way it was. Originally it was a fur trading post with an ambitious business man by the name of James McMillen.

A nice camera for any professional photographer, for any film photography, if you can still get them around twenty or thirty bucks. Love these plastic cameras for traveling, in case you lose it, no big deal.
