Grain elevators are a visual symbol of western Canada. The elevators (5.758 in 1933) have dominated the prairie landscape for more than a century with every hamlet, village and town boasting its row of them, a declaration of a community's economic viability and a region's agricultural strength.
During the sixties the system began to collapse. The
depopulation of rural areas followed mechanization and
consolidation of small farms into larger units during a
time of expectations and urban growth.
Grain elevators are a rapidly disappearing sight on the Canadian Prairies. Since 1963 the total number has dwindled from over 5000 to about 400.
Mirambell es otro precioso y despoblado pueblo en el que cada vez quedan menos habitantes. En la provincia de Teruel hay un recorrido de maravillosos pueblos medievales los que puedes visitar porque están muy próximos unos de otros. A mi modo de ver este portal de las monjas es junto a la muralla exterior el lugar más destacado, si bien hay una serie de calles que es de obligado recorrido.
Mirambell is another beautiful and depopulated town in which there are fewer and fewer inhabitants. In the province of Teruel there is a tour of wonderful medieval villages which you can visit because they are very close to each other. In my way of seeing this portal of the nuns is next to the outer wall the most prominent place, although there are a number of streets that are a must-see.
Mirambell és un altre preciós i despoblat poble en el qual cada vegada queden menys habitants. A la província de Terol hi ha un recorregut de meravellosos pobles medievals els quals pots visitar perquè estan molt propers els uns dels altres. A la meva manera de veure aquest portal de les monges és al costat de la muralla exterior el lloc més destacat, si bé hi ha una sèrie de carrers que és d'obligat recorregut.
Rostarzewo is a village in the western part of Wielkopolska Province, with approximately 1,400 inhabitants.
The first mention of the village of Rostarzewo comes from 1379. The village was destroyed and depopulated during the Northern War in 1700-1721. In 1746 the village was rebuilt by Protestant settlers from Silesia. King Augustus III of the Saxon, on August 27, 1752, granted the village municipal rights, which were lost in 1934.
The typical buildings of the market square with an interesting and unique town hall in the middle have been preserved from that period. The town hall also served as a customs chamber (there was a passage on the ground floor) and it is still a unique tourist attraction today.

Rostarzewo jest wsią w zachodniej części województwa Wielkopolskiego, licząca około 1400 mieszkańców.
Pierwsza wzmianka o wsi Rostarzewo pochodzi z roku 1379. Wieś została zniszczona i wyludniona podczas wojny północnej w latach 1700-1721. W 1746 wieś została odbudowana przez protestanckich osadników ze Śląska. Król August III Sas, 27 sierpnia 1752 roku nadał wsi prawa miejskie, które zostały utracone w 1934.
Z tego okresu zachowała się typowa zabudowa rynku wraz z interesującym i wyjątkowym ratuszem po środku. Ratusz pełnił jednocześnie funkcję komory celnej (na parterze był przejazd) i stanowi on do dzisiaj wyjątkową atrakcję turystyczną.

At that time, we could see the original scenery of Japan in the countryside of Japan, but in recent years, the population has been washed away into the cities, and the countryside has become depopulated, so I am lonely.
Dvigrad (Twin-town), Docastei in Istriot language, is an abandoned medieval town in central Istria, Croatia. It is located in the Draga valley. The history of the settlement is prehistoric; it remained inhabited until the 18th century.
The region was settled by the Illyrians in prehistoric times. In 1345, Dvigrad was sacked by the Genoese admiral Paganin Doria during conflicts between Genoa and Venice. The Venetians sacked the town in 1383, but did not take rule of it until 1413, when a nobleman from Koper was put in governance. In the 16th century, plague and malaria depopulated much of the town. In the year 1615 it was besieged again, by Uskoks, and while it escaped capture it was abandoned save for a few poor residents within 15 years. Only three families remained by 1650. In 1714, the last residents left the town to ruin.
Morella, Spain, Spanje
Morella (Valencian: is an ancient walled city located on a hill-top in the province of Castellón, Valencian Community, Spain. The town is the capital and administrative centre of the comarca of Els Ports, in the historic Maestrat region.
There are traces of settlement by the Iberians, succeeded by the Greeks and Romans, Visigoths and the Moors. From the early 17th century to the Spanish Civil War, the town was often fought over, due to its strategic situation between the Ebro and the coastal plain of Valencia. Morella is part of the Taula del Sénia free association of municipalities.
Every six years the citizens celebrate the Sexenni, a commemoration of the town's recovery from the plague in the seventeenth century. Tourism now plays an important part in the local economy, along with agriculture. In the 20th century the town and surrounding area became depopulated, a trend that has only been reversed in the early 21st century. The population of Morella at the start of 2019 was 2,430,[2] having declined from a figure of 7,335 in 1900 (INE)

This is the area where a small mining village called Glenbuck used to be.
Glenbuck was in Muirkirk parish located at the North-Eastern edge of Ayrshire, close to the border of Lanarkshire. It had an ironworks (1796) and several small coal mines in the vicinity in the nineteenth century. There were a number of ‘miners rows’ in the village to house inhabitants, with the largest, Grasshill Row , consisting of a single row of 33 two apartment dwellings. Its last local coal mine (Grasshill), which employed around 150 of Glenbuck’s residents of a total workforce of around 200, closed in 1933. Glenbuck school closed in 1951, the Co-op shop in 1953 and the village was totally depopulated by 1954, with the majority of the population moved to a council estate in Muirkirk
The village was demolished when opencast mining was introduced to the area, but public interest in the village has endured, thanks to the legacy of its most famous son, Bill Shankly. Bill Shankly was one of a family of 10 children and he and his five brothers all went on to play professional football, but in total, some 50 members of the famous Glenbuck team, the Cherrypickers, also progressed to professional teams, establishing an incredible legacy for the tiny mining village

Arran (/ˈærən/; Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Arainn) or the Isle of Arran[7] is an island off the coast of Scotland, in the United Kingdom. It is the largest island in the Firth of Clyde and the seventh largest Scottish island, at 432 square kilometres (167 sq mi). Historically part of Buteshire, it is in the unitary council area of North Ayrshire. In the 2011 census it had a resident population of 4,629. Though culturally and physically similar to the Hebrides, it is separated from them by the Kintyre peninsula. Often referred to as "Scotland in miniature", the island is divided into highland and lowland areas by the Highland Boundary Fault and has been described as a "geologist's paradise".[8]
Arran has been continuously inhabited since the early Neolithic period. Numerous prehistoric remains have been found. From the 6th century onwards, Goidelic-speaking peoples from Ireland colonised it and it became a centre of religious activity. In the troubled Viking Age, Arran became the property of the Norwegian crown, until formally absorbed by the kingdom of Scotland in the 13th century. The 19th-century "clearances" led to significant depopulation and the end of the Gaelic language and way of life. The economy and population have recovered in recent years, the main industry being tourism. There is a diversity of wildlife, including three species of tree endemic to the area.
The island includes miles of coastal pathways, numerous hills and mountains, forested areas, rivers, small lochs and beaches. Its main beaches are at Brodick, Whiting Bay, Kildonan, Sannox and Blackwaterfoot.
Usal Beach looking North. The Lost Coast is a mostly natural and undeveloped area of the California North Coast in Humboldt and Mendocino Counties, which includes the King Range. It was named the "Lost Coast" after the area experienced depopulation in the 1930s. In addition, the steepness and related geotechnical challenges of the coastal mountains made this stretch of coastline too costly for state highway or county road builders to establish routes through the area, leaving it the most undeveloped and remote portion of the California coast. Usal Redwood Company built a sawmill and 1,600-foot (490 m) wharf at the mouth of Usal Creek in 1889. The company town of Usal was built around the mill and a railroad for transporting logs extended three miles up Usal Creek. A fire in 1902 destroyed the sawmill, schoolhouse, warehouse, and county bridge over Usal Creek.The railroad was dismantled; but a few structures, including a hotel, survived until destroyed by fire in 1969. Steep terrain and unfavorable coastal mooring conditions delayed timber harvesting of Jackass Creek drainage until internal combustion machinery was available for transport. The company town of Wheeler, California, was built for logging operations from 1948 to 1959. Sinkyone Wilderness State Park began acquisition of Lost Coast property in 1975. Wikipedia

Hope you have a great weekend. Thank you all for your visits, comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Castelluccio di Norcia
"Castelluccio is a fraction of the municipality of Norcia (PG) in Umbria, one of the highest inhabited centers in the Apennines.
According to ISTAT data, the town is gradually depopulating: in the 2001 census the town was inhabited by 150 residents, while in the 2011 census the number of residents dropped to 120. On 30 October 2016 it was almost completely destroyed by a major seismic event : the bell tower and the Church of Santa Maria Assunta have been completely lost , while some works of considerable historical and artistic value kept in the church had been made safe before the collapses ."

Castelluccio (Norcia) - Bloom 2016
Castelluccio è una frazione del comune di Norcia (PG) in Umbria.
Il paese si trova a circa 28 km da Norcia, raggiungibile attraverso una strada panoramica, posto in cima ad una colle che si eleva sull'omonimo altopiano (Piani di Castelluccio) tra i più vasti dell'Italia Centrale ed inserito nel Parco nazionale dei Monti Sibillini, ad una altitudine di 1.452 m s.l.m. che ne fanno uno dei centri abitati più elevati degli Appennini. Di fronte ad esso si erge la sagoma del Monte Vettore (2.476 m). Secondo i dati Istat, il paese si è spopolato molto velocemente, nel 2001 il paese era abitato da 150 residenti, mentre 7 anni dopo, nel 2008, sono stati censiti solo 8 abitanti fissi.
Castelluccio is a fraction of the Norcia town (PG) in Umbria.
The town is located about 28 km from Norcia, reached via a scenic route, place on top of a hill that rises on the plateau (Castelluccio Plains) are among the largest in Central Italy and inserted in the Mountains National Park sibillini, to an altitude of 1,452 m above sea level making it one of the highest towns of the Apennines. In front of it stands the silhouette of Mount Vettore (2,476 m). According to Istat, the country was depopulated very quickly, in 2001 the village was inhabited by 150 residents, while seven years later, in 2008, were counted only 8 permanent residents.
Il glicine è una pianta rampicante molto usata per la decorazione di esterni per l'eleganza e la piacevole profumazione dei suoi fiori a grappolo dalle sfumature viola, azzurre, bianche e lavanda. Deve il suo nome scientifico, Wisteria, allo studioso di anatomia Gaspare Wistar, che classificò più di dieci specie rampicanti di glicine, mentre l'epiteto della varietà comune, sinensis, ne identifica l'origine (Sínae=Cina). Esistono infatti diverse specie di glicine: dopo il Wisteria sinensis le più note sono Wisteria floribunda di origine giapponese e Wisteria frutescens originaria del Nord America. In Europa il glicine viene importato per la prima volta nel 1816, dalla costa orientale degli Stati Uniti mentre le varietà orientali, che sono oggi le più diffuse e apprezzate, arrivano solo qualche anno dopo, spopolando nei giardini europei.

Wisteria is a climbing plant widely used for outdoor decoration due to the elegance and pleasant fragrance of its cluster flowers with shades of purple, blue, white and lavender. It owes its scientific name, Wisteria, to the anatomy scholar Gaspare Wistar, who classified more than ten climbing species of wisteria, while the epithet of the common variety, sinensis, identifies its origin (Sínae = China). In fact, there are several species of wisteria: after Wisteria sinensis the best known are Wisteria floribunda of Japanese origin and Wisteria frutescens originating from North America. In Europe, wisteria was imported for the first time in 1816, from the east coast of the United States, while the oriental varieties, which are today the most widespread and appreciated, arrived only a few years later, depopulating in European gardens.
Another for the Dark City Deutschland collection, this I took early December last year on a very cold night, this corner was absolutely disgusting, littered, torn posters, very aged and the steps had this, thanks to a nearby street lamp, almost radioactive hue of green with damp and mold damage, as well the area reeking of stale urine, for another words, perfect!
When I started this project I had no idea just how much an abundance of choice I would end up having, but yet so hard to find. I think you need to keep an open mind and allow not the just the image, but the atmosphere to leak in, then you get it!
Friday at last and I trust everyone had a prosperous week, here's to a great weekend and so as always, thank you!
This more recent abandoned shepherd’s cottage remains among the other ruins at the cleared village of Suisinish, south Skye as a sad reminder of the Clearances. The people evictions from about the mid 1850s led to emigration and the rural depopulation of the Scottish Highlands.
The Shio-Mgvime monastery (Georgian: შიომღვიმე, Shiomghvime, literally meaning "the cave of Shio") is a medieval monastic complex in Georgia, near the town of Mtskheta. It is located in a narrow limestone canyon on the northern bank of the Kura River, some 30 km from Tbilisi, Georgia’s capital.
Shio-Mgvime quickly turned into the largest monastic community in Georgia and by the end of the 6th century it was populated by as many as 2,000 monks. It became a vibrant center of cultural and religious activities and remained under the personal patronage of Catholicoi of Georgia. David IV "the Builder" (1089-1125) made it a royal domain and dictated regulations (typicon) for the monastery (1123). The downfall of the medieval Georgian kingdom and incessant foreign invasions resulted in the decline of the monastery. It saw a relative revival when the Georgian king George VIII (r. 1446-1465) granted Shio-Mgvime and its lands to the noble family of Zevdginidze-Amilakhvari to whom the monastery served as a familial burial ground up to the 1810s.
The monastery was ravaged by the invading Persian troops sent by Shah Abbas I of Safavid in 1614-6. Prince Givi Amilakhvari reconstructed it in 1678, but the 1720s Ottoman occupation of Georgia brought about another devastation and depopulation of Shio-Mgvime. Restored by Prince Givi Amilakhvari in 1733, the monastery was raided and the monks massacred by the Persians less than two years later. Subsequently, Shio-Mgvime was restored and its interior renovated in the 19th century, but it never regained its past importance and role in the spiritual life of Georgia. Under Bolshevik rule, the monastery was closed, but it is now functional and attracts many pilgrims and tourists.
Second Defenestration of Prague on 23 May 1618th.
Representatives of the Protestant States overthrew the royal governors Jaroslav Borsita Count of Martinitz and Wilhelm Slavata and the law firm secretary Filip Fabricius of this tower.
This event was used as an opportunity to start the Thirty Years' War.
The real reason was the battle for supremacy in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.
Religion also been listed as a reason, as always.
By warfare triggered famines and pestilences devastated and depopulated entire regions. In parts of southern Germany about survived only one-third of the population.
It was killed, murdered, vandalized, looted, ...
On October 24, 1648 peace was made.
The dead availed this nothing more, they remained death.
As always:
war, death, devastation, peace agreement and tidying up,
Then:
everything goes on, but just not for the dead.
Warfare are pointless.
Vertreter der protestantischen Stände stürzten die königlichen Statthaltern Jaroslav Borsita Graf von Martinitz und Wilhelm Slavata sowie dem Kanzleisekretär Philipp Fabricius aus diesem Turm.
Dieses Ereignis wurde zum Anlass genommen, den Dreißigjährigen Krieg zu beginnen.
Der eigentliche Anlass war der Kampf um die Vorherrschaft im Heiligen Römischen Reich Deutscher Nation.
Hierbei wurde auch die Religion als Grund angeführt, wie immer.
Durch die Kriegshandlungen ausgelöste Hungersnöte und Seuchen verwüsteten und entvölkerten ganze Landstriche. In Teilen Süddeutschlands etwa überlebte nur ein Drittel der Bevölkerung.
Es wurde getötet, gemordet, verwüstet, geplündert, ...
Am 24. Oktober 1648 wurde Frieden geschlossen.
Den Toten nützte dies nichts mehr, sie war Tod und blieben es.
Wie immer: Krieg, Tod, Verwüstung, Friedenschluss und Aufräumen, alles geht weiter, nur nicht für die Toten.
Kriege sind sinnlos.

Took this as part of the Dark City Deutschland collection at the end of last year in December, a cold night and I happened upon this petrol station, a fair walk down from where I live. I've always wanted to get an abandoned petrol station, as not only was I inspired by others here on Flickr, but also because I feel in the Dark Lands or in provision of a bleak and apocalyptic future, commerce is reflected in oil and petroleum, entwined with logistics and freight, so when that grinds to a halt, you know a place is in trouble.
So when I thought of this place I couldn't wait to get down to it, the barest lights above and darker street that it was on, was perfect for the mood I wanted to capture. I hope you enjoy.
I hope everyone's week is off to a great start and so as always, thank you! :)
Crazy conspiracy theories linked to 5G mast...
5G Mast spread the coronavirus
5G Mast are a cover-up for depopulation
5G Mast are used to monitor us
5G Mast spread radiation
But even more absurd than any of those...
5G Mast are also a home for Kestrel Chicks!
Haha., that last one really made me laugh!
Surely can't be true!!
Can it?
Another for the Dark City Deutschland collection. This is from a Tube station on Turmstraße in Moabit, Berlin. Since the many movies such as American Werewolf in London (the Tube scene) and documentaries discussing Ghost Stories about underground stations (link below) as well the events of suicides going on in such locations, I have always found these places somewhat spooky and eerie, especially at night.
This was very late at night so no trains were running and thus thankfully the place was empty of people, giving me this opportunity to get this floor level shot, the lighting gave a rich opportunity to matt/black out the street above which was dimly lit. Gave for such an appealing darker atmosphere
OK, Friday tomorrow, I hope everyone had a great week and so as always, thank you! :)
We found these crates and barrels in a disused farm building on La Gomera - another symptom of the flight from the land and depopulation on this island.
Dvigrad (Twin-town), Docastei in Istriot language, is an abandoned medieval town in central Istria, Croatia. It is located in the Draga valley. The history of the settlement is prehistoric; it remained inhabited until the 18th century.
The region was settled by the Illyrians in prehistoric times. In 1345, Dvigrad was sacked by the Genoese admiral Paganin Doria during conflicts between Genoa and Venice. The Venetians sacked the town in 1383, but did not take rule of it until 1413, when a nobleman from Koper was put in governance. In the 16th century, plague and malaria depopulated much of the town. In the year 1615 it was besieged again, by Uskoks, and while it escaped capture it was abandoned save for a few poor residents within 15 years. Only three families remained by 1650. In 1714, the last residents left the town to ruin.
Insieme al mio fotoclub stamattina siamo stati a visitare Cancelli frazione di Foligno, provincia di Perugia, in Umbria, centro Italia, e i dintorni della montagna praticamente spopolata. A Cancelli la famiglia Cancelli, nella sua linea ereditaria maschile, storicamente ha la capacità di guarire dalla sciatica, capacità guaritive trasmesse nientemeno che dagli apostoli Ss. Pietro e Paolo.
Together with my photoclub this morning we went to visit Cancelli fraction of Foligno, province of Perugia, in Umbria, central Italy, and the surroundings of the practically depopulated mountain. In Cancelli the Cancelli family, in its male hereditary line, historically has the ability to heal from sciatic nerve disease, healing abilities transmitted by none other than the apostles Sts. Peter and Paul.

🇫🇷 Après le repas à Korfos , nous réembarquons pour le retour..... via le long de la caldera, au pied de Oia.
-------------------------------------
Seule île des Cyclades (avec Milos, moins spectaculaire) d’origine volcanique, elle ne ressemble à aucune autre. Sa géologie témoigne d’une des plus violentes éruptions de ces 10 000 dernières années. On a retrouvé des fragments de roche volcanique jusqu’à 900 km de là, Le raz-de-marée engendré aurait décimé les flottes marchandes et de guerre de l’Empire minoen, ainsi qu’une bonne partie des cités littorales crétoises.
Santorin connaît encore périodiquement des secousses, plus ou moins graves. Le 9 juillet 1956, un séisme a fait 48 morts et 200 blessés. L’île s’est alors dépeuplée.
🇬🇧 After lunch in Korfos, we board the boat for the return journey ..... via the caldera at the foot of Oia.
-------------------------------------
The only island in the Cyclades (along with Milos, which is less spectacular) of volcanic origin, it is unlike any other. Its geology bears witness to one of the most violent eruptions of the last 10,000 years. Fragments of volcanic rock have been found up to 900 km away. The resulting tidal wave is said to have decimated the trading and naval fleets of the Minoan Empire, as well as many of the Cretan coastal towns.
Santorini still suffers tremors of varying severity from time to time. On 9 July 1956, an earthquake killed 48 people and injured 200. The island was subsequently depopulated.
🇬🇷 Μετά το μεσημεριανό γεύμα στον Κόρφο, επιβιβαζόμαστε ξανά για το ταξίδι της επιστροφής..... μέσω της καλντέρας στους πρόποδες της Οίας.
-------------------------------------
Το μοναδικό νησί των Κυκλάδων (μαζί με τη Μήλο, η οποία είναι λιγότερο εντυπωσιακή) ηφαιστειακής προέλευσης, δεν μοιάζει με κανένα άλλο. Η γεωλογία του μαρτυρά μία από τις πιο βίαιες εκρήξεις των τελευταίων 10.000 ετών. Θραύσματα ηφαιστειακών πετρωμάτων έχουν βρεθεί σε απόσταση 900 χλμ. Το παλιρροϊκό κύμα που προέκυψε λέγεται ότι αποδεκάτισε τους εμπορικούς και πολεμικούς στόλους της Μινωικής Αυτοκρατορίας, καθώς και πολλές από τις παράκτιες πόλεις της Κρήτης.
Η Σαντορίνη εξακολουθεί να βιώνει σεισμούς κατά καιρούς, διαφορετικού βαθμού σοβαρότητας. Στις 9 Ιουλίου 1956, ένας σεισμός σκότωσε 48 ανθρώπους και τραυμάτισε 200. Στη συνέχεια το νησί ερημώθηκε.
🇩🇪 Nach dem Mittagessen in Korfos geht es wieder an Bord für die Rückfahrt ..... entlang der Caldera am Fuße von Oia.
-------------------------------------
Oia ist die einzige Insel der Kykladen (neben der weniger spektakulären Insel Milos), die vulkanischen Ursprungs ist. Ihre Geologie zeugt von einer der gewaltigsten Eruptionen der letzten 10.000 Jahre. Die dadurch ausgelöste Flutwelle soll die Handels- und Kriegsflotte des minoischen Reiches sowie einen Großteil der kretischen Küstenstädte vernichtet haben.
Auch heute noch wird Santorin regelmäßig von kleineren und größeren Erdbeben erschüttert. Am 9. Juli 1956 kamen bei einem Erdbeben 48 Menschen ums Leben, 200 wurden verletzt. In der Folge wurde die Insel entvölkert.
🇪🇸 Después de almorzar en Korfos, volvemos a embarcar para hacer el viaje de regreso a través de la caldera situada al pie de Oia.
Es la única isla de las Cícladas (junto con Milos, que es menos espectacular) de origen volcánico, por lo que no se parece a ninguna otra. Su geología es testimonio de una de las erupciones más violentas de los últimos 10 000 años. Se han encontrado fragmentos de roca volcánica a 900 km de distancia. Se dice que el maremoto resultante diezmó las flotas mercantes y de guerra del Imperio minoico, así como muchas de las ciudades costeras cretenses.
Santorini sigue sufriendo temblores de vez en cuando, de mayor o menor gravedad. El 9 de julio de 1956, un terremoto causó 48 muertos y 200 heridos. La isla quedó entonces despoblada.
🇮🇹 Dopo pranzo a Korfos, si riparte per il viaggio di ritorno passando per la caldera ai piedi di Oia.

Unica isola delle Cicladi (insieme a Milos, meno spettacolare) di origine vulcanica, è diversa da tutte le altre. La sua geologia testimonia una delle più violente eruzioni degli ultimi 10.000 anni. Frammenti di roccia vulcanica sono stati ritrovati fino a 900 km di distanza. Si dice che il maremoto che ne seguì decimò le flotte mercantili e da guerra dell'Impero minoico, oltre a molte delle città costiere della Creta.
Santorini è ancora soggetta a scosse di terremoto di diversa intensità. Il 9 luglio 1956, un terremoto causò 48 morti e 200 feriti. L'isola fu poi spopolata.
These slides are taken with a half-size camera called Olympus Pen EE2 about 50 years ago. In January 1972, Our friend group went to the Nagareha Ski Resort in Gifu Prefecture. I remember it was very cold in a quiet ski area.
At that time, we could see the original scenery of Japan in the countryside of Japan, but in recent years, the population has been washed away into the cities, and the countryside has become depopulated, so I am lonely.
Insieme al mio fotoclub stamattina siamo stati a visitare Cancelli frazione di Foligno, provincia di Perugia, in Umbria, centro Italia, e i dintorni della montagna praticamente spopolata. A Cancelli la famiglia Cancelli, nella sua linea ereditaria maschile, storicamente ha la capacità di guarire dalla sciatica, capacità guaritive trasmesse nientemeno che dagli apostoli Ss. Pietro e Paolo.
Together with my photoclub this morning we went to visit Cancelli fraction of Foligno, province of Perugia, in Umbria, central Italy, and the surroundings of the practically depopulated mountain. In Cancelli the Cancelli family, in its male hereditary line, historically has the ability to heal from sciatic nerve disease, healing abilities transmitted by none other than the apostles Sts. Peter and Paul.
Nevers, La France
St Mary's Chapel, or the Chapel of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin, was part of the Visitation Monastery, whose buildings were constructed between 1623 and 1634. The Duchess Louise-Marie de Gonzague, the future Queen of Poland, laid the foundation stone in June 1639. The work was completed in 1649.
It is the only remains of the Convent of the Visitation, a religious order founded in 1610 by Saint Francis de Sales and Saint Jeanne de Chantal. The nuns' presence was much criticised. They bought houses to enlarge their holding and depopulated the street. The Abbey of Saint Martin then agreed to give part of its land to the nuns who could then build the chapel
1639 , the building was completed in 1643.

Mjóifjörður means "Narrow fjord"; the reasons for the name should be pretty clear. It is now almost depopulated, except for the small village Brekkuþorp, which hosts about 10 year-round visitors.

It's hard to even imagine anything else that could depopulate a campus the way war did.
Навіть важко уявити щось інше, що могло би обезлюдити студентське містечко так, як його обезлюдила війна.
