Description
The old village of Balestrino was abandoned in the 1960's for fear of a landslide. Today it lies there as it was left; unfortunately you can't move through the old buildings because they threaten to come down - you can get a look from the newly rebuilt village as well as walk right underneath the castle which is now privately owned and also not up to be visited.

Balestrino Series shot during our vacation in Liguria, Italy, September 2010 - the "bad" weather made these pictures better than I could've hoped for if the sun had come out...
