This visit to Bombay was my third. I first visited the city back in 1990, and came back again just nine years ago. On my most recent visit, Bombay is known as Mumbai, and has grown larger. Its economy has boomed, and its streets are now filled with cars instead of bikes and motorbikes. New construction has changed its skyline, as well. Yet one thing has not changed – its infrastructure is still plagued with decay. I wandered into the side yard of a building in a Bombay neighborhood frequented by tourists, and made this image of building badly in need of maintenance. Pipes of various kinds, some of them deeply rusted, dominate the scene. These pipes might still function, but one must wonder for how long?
