FLEABAG S02E01 dir. Harry Bradbeer

The top of the tree stumps mark the snow at 22 feet deep that winter.  Of the 87 members of the party, 48 survived to reach California. Historians have described the episode as one of the most spectacular tragedies in Californian history and in the record of western migration.

Two years ago I sat next to these ghostly figures in an abandoned 14th century church close to the German border. The fascinating St George church, that has stood since 1352, sat empty for almost four decades after the roof collapsed during a funeral. Convinced the church was cursed, locals in the area feared this place, preferring to carry out sermons and masses outside in the open air. 
Now the motionless ghosts of the Sudeten Germans line the pews and aisles of this once dilapitated church as an homage to the fatal congregation back in 1968. This place is a feast for the eyes that emanates a rich history and awakens the imagination. There were brief moments where I was convinced I saw these hooded figures breathing and moving. © Nona Limmen Webshop / Instagram
