Utkikkstaarn = view tower
This is pictures from among others, Famagusta - the ghost town, Cyprus. The city was occupied by the Turkish people in 1974 and it is mostly the story behind the photos I want to scrap  It is really sad.
I have used :
- brown bazzill
- remainders (Signatur Suite and MME)
- text is written in font: Maiandra GD
- rub-ons from MM
- brads from MM
- QK fastners
- Distress ink (antique Linen)
- Nick Bantock (van dyke brown)
- prima flowers
Thank you so much for looking
This is what the text sais:
Hope I have written it correctly.
On the excursion we stopped by a view-tower. From here it was a view over Famagusta, the ghost town. This town was earlier a famous charter destination. The hole city was surrounded by barbed wire and there was not aloud to go inside. It could then be fired gun shoots. In the view-tower they showed a movie from the time when the Turkish people occupied Cyprus. It was many people hurt and many killed. The occupation happen in 1974, in other words, 31 years ago. It was also made a miniature city, like it was before the occupation. The city is today empty and left behind, it stands there deserted. The buildings are empty and we were told that you could see light in the window in a very long time after the occupation. The clothes were hanging out to dry and the curtains were flapping in the window. The cars stands with broken windows. A really sad view.
