LEN AND THE OWL PHOTOGRAPHY

FORLORN

When first I set eyes upon Susuz my spirit soared.  How beautiful.

As I approached I realised something was wrong.

School was out.


The people had left.

I was deeply disturbed by what I saw.  More than I understood why.  These windows reached deep in to my soul.

My ancestors were driven from their homes in Croatia.  They landed in Hungary.  They were then annexed by Austria.  Then my mother came to England after the war.
