The side of La Mar Lake Resort facing the west and the road into the resort. A chair stood in front of each room, but the rooms themselves were empty of furniture.

A hammock hung between two palm trees provided a classic view of a tropical lake beach.

A grackle was perched on a rock just behind and to one side of an egret on the shore of lake Nicaragua.

Furniture was set up next to the pool to make it appear as if the resort was active.

Children's play equipment had, over time, begun to lean away from the lake.

An abandoned basketball court with volleyball poles but no net all under a backdrop of Wind power generators.

Chairs still stood outside rooms that faced the pool and lake. But the rooms were stripped of all furnishings.

Trinkets and crafts were for sale in front of the hotel on the arrival porch.
