Beautiful village

 Amazing Nature ❤️ Picture of my village. Missing this beautiful scenery for the last ten months. Because of the novel Corona Virus. As seniors we are not able to travel long. Resisting ourselves from the functions we have to attend. How long it will get extended? We don’t know. May the Almighty protect us all from the pandemic situation.

May the whole world 🌍 enjoy health, happiness and peace!
