For the first entry and to support this contest I have prepared one of the problems in my country (Serbia). People, especially young, are moving away from villages and hard work to find their place in a big city. Leaving the old people alone and thus creating more and more ghost places across the country.
One of the villages that is endangered to extinct is my mother's birthplace.
Last time I was visiting there was around 20 elders in the village. Compare this number to about 500 inhabitants about 20-25 years back. And of all people who told me stories, and played with me when I was just a kid, only 2 of them are alive today.
They died, just as this wood below and everything else a man cared for in that God forgotten place.
As time goes by empty houses, supporting buildings and fences are failing to stand the test of time and bad weather.
All around the village you can stumble upon some remains of the stables and houses. But still I really like to take a walk through all the beautiful nature this place provides.
Given enough time mother nature will prevail in this place, and this village will be forgotten completely.
Cheers to that!
