| A Small Favela |
This is a photo of a very small favela (slum) in Itaipu. As Karine explained it, this is a "middle-class" favela - not the best and not the worst. You can see an area that has collapsed. That part is filled with debris and trash. Actually, right after I took this photo a woman came out onto her patio and threw a bag of trash into the pile below - totally natural for her. But then again where does all of our trash end up? In some huge pile somewhere, probably India, or maybe swirling around a gyre in some ocean garbage patch. Sad. But I'm sure I will get into that more later.
