In 1980, photographers Brian Rose and Edward Fausty conducted a photo survey of derelict NYC, particularly the Lower East Side. This image is of 199 & 201 Henry Street, with a 1967 Chrysler Town & Country wagon at the curb.

They are in the middle of the Great Karoo:

Here’s the Google Maps Street View linky if you want to have a look around.

Snakes On A Hot Tin Roof

I was informed about a cool site called “MapCrunch” that takes you to a random Google Maps Street View Image with a single click ‘o the mouse, so I took it for a quick spin.

I ended up traveling North on the Bumthang-Ura Highway in Bhutan and decided to see what was around the corner. (Click on any image below for detail.)

Bumthang - Ura Hwy 1

Bumthang - Ura Hwy 2

Bumthang - Ura Hwy 3

Bumthang - Ura Hwy 4

Bumthang - Ura Hwy 4a

Looks pretty, clean and quiet, paved road, dogs, no graffiti and snakes on the roof. Yeah, I could live there, and what could be better than living in the sticks and having a King named Jigme Wangchuck?
