Botanic garden, above the sea, cicades & waves

Sitting above the beach, listening to the cicades, a rinse and seawaves with the zoom recorder. svetlana introduces the villa / castle, afar kids play in the water. karasan, once a village, got sourrounded by a sanatorium complex built in the 60ies. the about 80 former citizens at the time were resettled to other towns when the whole area was sold to an infamous gas-company. only two residents remained protesting. they are still there. we live here, inmidst a forest from pine, bamboo, cypresses, olives and peaches with that 86-year-old woman in a pretty hut. don't mind the broken windows of the sanatorium, it is still intact, old lung-patients dry their self-caught fish. the soviet sport-site falling apart in the sun it looks like greek ruins from centuries ago - the tourists are dying out.
