WW#197 – Bleakness

 
This is Villa La Angostura, in Argentina. It’s a small touristic village that was very affected by the volcanic ashes coming from the Puyehue in neighbouring Chile.
This is where my friend Alejandra lives with her family.
These pictures were taken by her just a few days ago.
This is STILL happening, in spite of our stupid President’s comments
about this being a ‘psychological issue’…
It’s about time the Argentine Government stops ignoring these people!

Aquí es donde viven mi amiga Alejandra y su familia.
Estas fotos fueron tomadas por ella hace sólo unos días.
Esto SIGUE pasando, a pesar de los estúpidos comentarios de nuestra
Presidenta diciendo que es un ‘problema psicológico’…
Ya es hora de que el gobierno argentino deje de ignorar a esta gente!

  2. My God, that is devastating in itself. The Government loves to turn away from any problems unless it is high in the news dept.
    They need some help.

  4. Crazy! It's like living in an horror movie. The pictures speak for themselves... although I'd love to see this crazy landscape with my own eyes, I feel for the people living there. Can't be healthy!

  8. Ariadna, la madrina de mi hijo Lucas vive allí, es un desastre, y me imagino como debe haber afectado la economía del lugar que vive sobre todo del turismo.
