Sad to say, this isn't an isolated case, seen in any town or city. I don't see an end to it...
...anyway I'm going 'off grid', as they like to say in certain circles, for a week or so.
Parked in the hush of a sunlit clearing, the van rests like a seasoned traveler pausing for breath. Its pale body holds countless miles, countless stories, carrying the spirit of freedom and quiet adventure. Around it, the trees lean in, casting dappled light in hues of green and gold, framing the moment with a painter’s touch. It is more than just a vehicle — it is a symbol of escape, of simplicity, of life lived on the open road and nights spent under stars. A fleeting glimpse of timeless wanderlust, captured in the stillness of the forest’s golden hour.
The lookout provides a table with two benches without backrests. You may want to bring something more comfortable if you have time to sit down. The camp chair pictured here was brought from home.

One of the abandoned houses had a broken wall allowing the construction method to be seen. Albert told me that the same method of wattle and daub are used to this day. He then showed me the lime pit that Maria uses when she needs to make a repair to the walls of her house. She mixes the lime with straw, soil and animal dung and then applies it between the branches that are woven between the timber frame. This method of construction and repair has been used for hundreds of years.

Country Earthbag House, Atascosa, TX, U.S.A.
This New Year's trip was quite an adventure. I lived the last day of the year like a country Texan offgrid in a fully sustainable completely unique earthbag house. It was 90% upcycled and low impact; all lighting powered by solar, cooking by propane, with a Rocket-mass heater being the main heating source.
The place was a true piece of art as the hosts put a creative touch on every aspect of the home. As a resut, it became my creative heaven for a day. I can't wait to share more pictures I shot there for my different projects.
I took this photo while leaving in front of the house. This is a reflection in a window with some trees in the background.

About the project:
I wish to look at myself in all reflected streets and places I will be passing by. These self-portraits are inspired by Vivian Maier's self-portraiture: www.vivianmaier.com
Arriving at sundown. The rain turned to snow overnight.
Rillway Cabin. A U.S. Forest Service rental in Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest, Montana.
A quiet little waterfall and some cascading pools, nestled betwixt cozy trees and ivy in this gorge. You're looking at Havasu Creek in the Havasupai Reservation, a mile or so downstream of Mooney Falls. There are so many of these little spots where people quickly trudge on by in a hurry to Beaver Falls. You could have the whole place to yourself for the day, take a dip read a book and have some nice lunch in serenity.
Girard Ridge Lookout. A U.S. Forest Service rental in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, California. The rental fee is $75 a night.
Construction of Rillway Cabin began in 1918 and took about three years to complete. The name “Rillway” is a portmanteau of the names of Nellie Averill and her son-in-law Floyd Holloway, who bought the cabin around 1924. The cabin is located next to Highway 12, about 50 miles south of Helena, Montana and offers easy access year round. Inside, it has three bunk beds, an extra large kitchen table, plenty of counter space and a wood stove for heat. It also has a fireplace insert. Firewood is provided by the Townsend Ranger District. There is no electricity, appliances, lights or plumbing and a few of the windows have been broken and covered with plywood. The rental fee is $45 a night.

The coldest place in the cabin. No heat back here.
