It must be bittersweet to see the village in its current state, knowing how it once was.
I can see how the beauty of nature is both a blessing and a curse for the village. On the one hand, it's amazing to see how the land has reclaimed the abandoned houses and fields. On the other hand, it's sad to think that the village is slowly being swallowed up by the forest.
The photos you shared are stunning. They capture the beauty of the village, even in its current state. I especially love the photo of the old wooden church. It's amazing to think that this church has been standing for centuries, and it's a testament to the resilience of the people who built it.
I'm glad that you were able to visit the village with your wife and pay your respects to her cousins. It sounds like they were all very special people, and I'm sure they would be proud of the way you've preserved their memories.
Thank you! A very nice and accurate review of what I wrote. It's always a joy when I see that there are still readers like you.
Thanks for your kinds words
With pleasure!
