Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Doesn’t look real in some of those, does it? Photoshop has turned out to be less than a friend to journalistic photographers.
What’s at the bottom? Will they expand to take all of the nearby real estate? If Guatemala City falls into the ground, will everyone there come here? Can we arrange for sinkholes to take everyone in the bad parts of a particular city?
