Interesting, a building in a lake! Looks strange but great!

Thanks for your comments. This tower is a remainder of a small village called Graun which was flooded around 1950 to create this artificial lake (Lago di Resia - Reschensee)near the Austrian border.

It reminds me of John Boorman's "Deliverance," and that scene in which a big truck moves away a little church to save it from the area's being flooded. Of course, it was a small church, made of wood... and in the film there is something hugely absurd about the operation (and not entirely fictional). Here, in your picture, like redi said, there is something immensely sad...

A beautiful but sad landscape. A church under the progress.

Thank you, Nicolas and Romao, for your comments. To me this sight also made a sad impression.

Hola Anne:

Sigo viendo tus magníficas fotos y esta me ha llamado la atención porque me resulta familiar. En España existen muchos pantanos y son numerosos los pueblos sumergidos, como las torres de las iglesias suelen ser lo más alto, son las que, a menudo, aparecen para dejar constancia de la existencia previa.

A veces, cuando las aguas bajan, queda una buena parte del pueblo al aire como un fantasma que anduviera buscando la paz para su espíritu, tal es el caso de Granadilla en la provincia de Cáceres; la gente que allí vivía se acerca para recordar sus antiguas casa y campos, algo así como cuando se le llevan flores a los difuntos el día de Todos los Santos.

Este caso es especial por la torre, por la foto, por los ojos que la vieron y por las manos que la tomaron.

Saludos, Arturo.

Greetings Anne, Very interesting photo. We did the same thing to the town of Nederland, above Boulder, many years ago. When the reservoir gets low you can see the old streets and foundations. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Rich

Thank you very much, Rich and sorry for the delay in answering. I didn't know that there is a place like this in the U.S. Do you have photos of it? Greetings, Anne

Thank you, Hamza! I'm glad you like it! Greetings, Anne

To the unknown person who suggested a new position for this photo: I set the mark at the point from where this picture was taken, not where the tower is standing. Anne

© Daniel, on June 7, said:

As you are supposed to place the marker. Nice photo Anne. Was this tower once on dry ground and then it flooded?

Daniel

©junebug, on June 7, said:

Thank you, Daniel! Here you can find more information about that lake and the tower if you like. Greetings, Anne
