[Theme] small town life, villages and hamlets
« on: January 05, 2017, 23:24:11 »
Theme characterised by lovely imperfections as opposed to ungraceful big city decomposition. With a taste of details and humor.

If no one comes - good luck

From a small harbour. In front of the houses there are 3 benches each with a sign - translates approx. to this:
- left: "Lie bench"
- center: "Confession bench"
- right: "Truth bench"
