Pablo Novak, Alone In The Flooded Town, Epecuen, Argentina

Every day, he climbs on his bicycle and rides around surveying the eerie shells of 185 hotels, restaurants and other businesses that existed before 1985.
"I am OK here. I am just alone. I read the newspaper. And I always think of the town's golden days," of the 1960s and 1970s, says Novak. Back then as many as 20,000 people would visit every year to take the waters there.
Visitors pick up on Epecuen's spooky vibe eyeing abandoned beds from a former old folks home; dozens of stranded, toppled night tables from local hotels; and upended materials visitors and businessmen tried to pry out of the rubble to reuse as construction materials.
