Today is the ideal day out - there is a pleasant fan blowing and it is cloudy in between. The dear friend Bernd picks me up and we drive back to the house with the orchard. On the way there we visit a dear friend of him: He is the only farmer, 84 years old, who still lives in this village, all the others are so-called "settlers". During the conversation I learn that "being a farmer", even if he were younger, would no longer be financially worthwhile. He lives alone, is now shy of people, but is well looked after by his daughters. For reasons of discretion, I only photograph a few details in front of the farmhouse.
