I haven’t had any time to blog for my remains blog, as you probably noticed. But soon I will we more focused doing this, and also the main site http://www.remains.se will be upgraded in a major way. So far, I have a draft logotype to work from. It’s based on the first ruin which had a personal affection on me; the old fish- and “freeze house” that my great grandfather built on the island of Ösel (or Saaremaa), Estonia.

So, I will be back pretty soon, and I hope you will join me. I have several thousand more pictures that I want to share.

- the little country that I love

At last! I’m going back to Estonia in a short while. Hopefully I will be able to drive around and take some pictures. I’d love to go to Narva. The thing is that I thought the coolest part of the fortress there was on the russian side of the border, but I just got the wonderful info that it is in Estonia!

I’m still working on the new design for remains.se, but so far I haven’t come up with anything new. Next step is to upload ALL remaining photos I’ve got, it’s about 5000+ pictures! Gulp.

Well, stay tuned!

The remains of this building was everything that was left from the “fishing house” that my great grandfather (my mom’s grandfather) August Raun built and used for drying fish (he was a fisherman). This old house is probably why I got my interest in history in the first place, it was about 14 years ago I was in Estonia, the homeland of my relatives, for the first time. Behind this house, at the stone beach, my grandmother Saida (my dad’s mom) and her sister Asta was put in small fishing boats in the middle of the night and waved goodbye to their parents. Later on, their parents was deported to Sibiria.

They did never see each other again.

My brother Rikard took some closeup photos.

Some functions seems quite pointless and other functions are missing, hopefully I will get everything I need within this summer.
