The story behind the image
A while ago I shared an image of the ruins of the Laveria Brassey, remains of the time when the area was active in mining. When the mines were closed, the surrounding villages and towns were hit severly.
One of these victims is Ingurtosu. When we approached the village, it looked like your typical Italian village on the countryside. Then we took a second look, and discovered that many buildings were in fact ruins. The roofs were damaged, sometimes badly, windows were missing or covered by simple wood. And there were no people to be seen or heard. And no traffic at all. It was like a ghost town.
While the ruins of the building look like a typical ruin, it still is weird to see the perfectly okay asphalt street passing in its front.
Spooky.
