Blog paus

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.

Remains.se logotype – the ruin at Saaremaa, Estonia

As a reference for the new remains.se logotype, I will be using a picture I took on the island of Saaremaa (Ösel) outside Estonia’s west-coast. 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.
