20 Years of La Crueize - no more siestas

In 2011, I took a panorama at this exact spot when the herd of black pigs roamed freely through the generously fenced forest, keeping it open and taking a siesta in this shelter.

Those days are gone, Augustin Thyssen still lives there (at the age of 87), but he has given up pig farming and now spends most of his time “reading and thinking, eating and drinking”, as he says, and taking a daily morning walk of about an hour.

It's uncertain whether we'll be able to rent the house again next year because his daughter will need it when she comes to visit him more often.

The place, like most of the forest, is overgrown with brambles, I had to make room for my tripod.
