in croatia PT.2

finding reconstruction in villages and towns is really quite easy - there is a lot of it going on in terms of new housing and development, industry and holiday resorts.. individuals and business moving on.

one of the strangest things i have found in this region is roads-to-nowhere. these grids of high quality roads and pavements have been seen next to minefields and deserted villages... like sprawling suburban or industrial areas, minus the buildings.
some locals allege that corruption is feeding the new construction and conflict of interests benefiting certain individuals.. some say that several new developments are not needed


moving inland, though, the veil of normality is generally thinner.. unable to say much for the time being.. still exploring.. still photographing.. yet some destroyed houses stand alone in villages which were relatively untouched by fighting..
