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

In a town all but destroyed when its salt lake overflowed over three decades ago, the desolation is surreal: from silvery-white empty houses and hotels to trees, stark and dead; and one lonely man who calls this home.
Once a lake country spa town south of Buenos Aires, Epecuen is a lagoon with a salinity level only topped by the Dead Sea. For decades, tourists visited to take its waters believing they were good for one's health.
Everything came crashing down in 1985 when a long period of heavy rains sent the lagoon bursting over its banks, and it swept over a busy small town.
"I had a bunch of cats and dogs, and they ran away a couple days before the flood and I never saw them again," Norma Berg, 48, told recalling her childhood spent there, until the flood.
