Barbie... all washed up :(

Two years after IVAN hit FLORIDA I was taking pictures of a sunset

where a house was torn from its foundation I saw this Barbie Doll

laying on the by some old wires and old Christmas Lights. (sigh)

Tears... See the glass... see the pain that this doll went through!

Two years of no love! (sigh) ~ I counted out of 22 houses only 7

were still standing on one block ~ two years later.

You are really sensitive person, Micki. This photo is very sad, but nice. Best regards, Ivana.

I agree with Ivana here. Best regards, Torfinn.

Biliana's pictures and this doll have touched me today. We lost a house that we lived in on the beach after we had moved to Japan. IVAN hit it two years ago so I am very close to the subject. When we moved back to America (US) the house was gone, nothing there and we were very sad. We do not live on the beach at all this time. So yes this is hard to see :[

A very sad commentary - but a very good docu-photo. We must remember how many people are displaced and in refugee centers because of big storms and war etc. We are truly blessed. This is a good photo to share.

Yes... today I am doing alot of remembering everywhere around the world... including here on photo.net by giving gifts ;) I suggest others do the same that can, it is a small thing but there are some that can't. It is a small gesture but some of us take for granted the ability to go out and have a meal while others do not have anything but a camera and a heart for art.

I can understand the pain as well. Last year, my sister and her husband moved in with us as they lost everything during the Hurricane in Ft. Lauderdale.

An image of desolation. Some kind of metaphor. Very good.

I like this one !

I believe this photo would make David Lynch proud.

The death of the American Dream. Does it really exist or is it just a figment of a collective imagination.

Metaphor - hell yes. Take your pick: drugs, broken dreams, natural/man-made disaster, wrong place-wrong time. It's all there, just depends on one's perspective. MP>
