Ignore the writing

And enjoy the pictures of rich people's homes. The writing is awful, extremely colonist, and about on par for yet another New Yorker discovering a world exists beyond the city lines.

There are lots of faux southwesty interior decorations, some pretty art shots, and a few nice looking artistic buildings inspired by the last 8,000 years of history here.

4/5 for the photography, 1/5 for the writing.
