reminds me on a visit on a german island in the baltic years ago. the island was a prohibited area in the cold war and when the german migration bird society came on the island in the early 90s there was only the light house, the birds, one old house and some shetland ponys roaming free the island. when they came to the desolate house one shetland pony was looking out of the window in the first floor. the ponys walking the stairs up and down and sleeping in the first floor at night.
