Scars of War

While standing infront of this house at Ulica Jakice Altarca in Jajace, Bosnia and Herzegovina, I was wondering about the people who lived here. Maybe a family...? What did their life looked like? Why didn't they come back after the end of the Bosnian War in 1995 to rebuilt their former home?

To put it short, scars of war are deep. Some are visible, others are not. Outsiders are astonished why the country still is not cleared of mines. To the present day, it's dangerous to go hiking in some parts of the mountains. At the sight of beautiful nature in Bosnia you can hardly imagine the hidden danger.  

Well, in Germany we can still see the aftermath of World War II - 70 years later. Every year around 5500 leftover bombs which are hidden in the ground beneath German cities have to be defused. Once more I understand what does it mean to say "Make love, no war".
