The Sky breaks down too, from time to time
as stars fall on the earth -
they shatter them with us all.
It could be tomorrow.
Bert Brecht
A journey to Ries. In my grandfather's old suitcase were a trove of photographs.
The Widembauer Farm in Utzwingen, beside the church and its cemetary, is the birthplace of my great-grandmother, her father and his father. Now Georg Thum, a nephew of Uri lives there. But now time is coming to an end and there is no heir. Bit by bit work has been stopped, the cattle have been sold, the land is leased.
Generations of tradition coming to an end, stories about a dying way of life.
