Caption

This is what the entire village of Pier looks like. Abandoned and forgotten. Doors and windows barricaded.

People have to continue their lives elsewhere, because of open-pit coal mining. In the next few years, Pier will be taken down and the earth under it will be excavated by huge digging machines.
