Slum clearance


Our hotel is just across the way from a canal or river. There are a few houseboats moored on the bank and a few sheds and shanties built under the massive maple trees the area is famous for, called chinar in these parts. I took some photos, it was such a beautiful peaceful setting and it reminded me a little of the banks of the river in Duncan on which my brother Pat parks his trailer. I also took a few shots of the tiny little squatters cabins that sink posts into the two feet of dirt on the near side of the canal and sit out over the water on the near side.
