See below. The contrast in these two properties (and perhaps those who lived/are living there) is the stuff of deep meditation, with all the consequential themes in play: aging, beauty, vitality, loss, money, physical and mental health, luck, and the big one, karma. But appearances can be deceiving. How does one judge a book by its cover – or an owner by his home – and not be fooled?

It’s unclear whether this place has been abandoned; though I have never seen a vehicle around, someone seems to be doing at least some maintenance, and it hangs on.

There was a photo contest sponsored by the United Nations Environment Program in the early 90’s, to coincide with the first Earth Summit in Rio De Janeiro. The theme was “Focus on Your World”, and the winner was to receive an all-expense paid trip to Rio, where they would also pick up $20K at World Environment Day ceremonies. Somehow this image seemed appropriate to their call for images that would “heighten international awareness of our fragile environment” – I seem to remember a “shelter” subcategory. In any case, I had my bags packed but, uh, never heard back. There were 32K+ submissions, and a book was published of the winning images, which I just ordered here.
