Recordist's notes
early April 2012, edge of abandoned village Pesch, some activity and voices in one of the remainig houses, someone seems to live here still, a woman and her dogs. east of this point only debris is left, the coal mining is about 300m away. the remains of Pesch will probably disappear during the next months.
