Compared to a Shuttle launch, the rocket ship seemed to hover above the pad just a little too long.

Inside the vehicle, however, we were full of anticipation, not dread: ready for this machine to do its work. It was like being a passenger in a big locomotive, but one who can th

 At one time, Epecu茅n was a booming resort city: a grand town on a beautiful lake, attracting vacationers from all over Argentina in the 1920s with its revitalizing salt waters. There were hotels, nightclubs, and restaurants. Today, it   a thicket of bleached white ruins, latticed with rusted steel and fallen power lines.     Like so many other low-lying towns, Epecu茅n was a victim of bad engineering.

Though residents had enough time to escape, the town itself was plunged into a long, wet sleep. Resorts, houses, playgrounds, schools were all lost. After a quarter of a century, the water receded. Ghostly remains were left intact, as captured recently by photographer Romain Veillon, who sent along his photos today. These ruins aren ;t quite a place, but they represent a very real memory for the residents who once lived there. Many revisited their former homes, and in the case ofone 81-year-old resident, even returned to live. But Epecu茅n was never rebuilt鈥攊nstead, it 8 stanley cup 217  served as something of a curiosity, playing host to stunt bike videos and other projects. Veillon describes his experience in Epecu茅n as a harrowing warning of the power of nature: Like the myth of Atlantis, Epecu茅n was flooded by the water like the gods were trying to send a message to mankind: We are nothing when
