I have also came across (predictably perhaps) countless sightseeing tourists recording their experiences. Some of the more curious, or architectually minded, take photos of buildings. I don’t know their backstories or what brought them to the cities I've encountered them in, but they all share an interest in seeing a city’s culture and history through its buildings.
Here are just a few.
