Banovina - the land that gave bread, wood and silence//MONOMAD CHALLENGE

Good morning dear Friends in the Black And White Community 🙌📸

In the week between Christmas and New Year's, I was working on a job that brought me to the heart of Banovina, along the Sisak-Glina road to the village of Mali Obljaj. And all of that was OK until after Glina. About fifteen kilometers after Glina, one feels and sees abandonment, neglect, misery and sadness. Today, Banovina offers empty houses, overgrown roads and memories that cannot be restored with concrete. Banovina is a space between departures and waiting. Houses stand with open windows, as if they still believe in returning. Yards are quieter than they used to be, but the land remembers footsteps, voices and seasons.

Abandoned, but not forgotten. Banovina does not seek pity — just to be seen.

And so, in the next few days we will see her together, but first

Today, Banovina offers empty houses, overgrown roads and memories that cannot be restored with concrete. Here, nature heals faster than people come. Here, the past can still be heard, but the future is late.

Abandoned, but not forgotten.

Banovina does not require big words, it is enough that it is not forgotten!

I took the photos while driving, with Olympus E-M10 Mark III, 40-150mm, f/4, Auto Mode. Processing in Photoshop Action-Black&White3

This is all for Today, see you Tomorrow dear Friends!
