Remains of a small village roads, houses, and local cemetary with mosque lies at the bottom of the drained lake in Bosnia
In this photo taken on Thursday, Feb. 16, 2017 remains of a small village roads, houses, and local cemetary with mosque lies at the bottom of the drained Ramsko Lake, near the Bosnian town of Rama, 130 kms south of Sarajevo. The artificial lake was made nearly 50 years ago, in what was at that time a fertile valley, and nearly 2,000 people had to forsake their ancestral homes. Half a century later, the remains of their crumbled houses and cracked tombstones of their elders have been exposed as most of the lake has vanished following an exceptionally cold and dry winter.
