Living in a community with more than fifty people on the area of a former coalmining factory sometimes gives me the impression, that life is a big peaceful floating river, although, of course, it isnīt.

At least it gives me the feeling, more than anywhere else, for the amount and magic of beautiful, funny or simply normal situations or moments each day, worth to store in memory. Especially when sitting in front of my door on a sunny afternoon, being surrounded by the activities of other people of the community, friends, neighbours and their children.

So many of the pictures in these galleries are about my home area and the people living within, trying to show, what makes the quality of living here: the normality of everyday life as well as the changes during the time.

As for the pictures, I know, I still have to learn a lot, trying to improve. So I would appreciate your comments, tips and criticism that will help me on this way.
