The Sand Buried Village of Shoyna

Shoyna is a small fishing village located on the Kanin Peninsula in Northern Russia. Situated on the edge of the arctic circle, the inhabitants of this coastal village has to endure not only the cold but the huge amount of sand that stretches for tens of kilometers all along the coast of the White Sea.

The dunes continually migrate up and down the coast by the action of the westerly wind, and can bury houses up to the roof in a single night. Residents take precaution not to close the door at night, because by morning, it might not open. The village has a bulldozer that is frequently in action, digging out homes.

Grandma Prisbrey's Bottle Village

Art bottle grandma prisbrey's Travel village

Grandma Prisbrey's Bottle Village is tucked away in a small residential neighborhood of Simi Valley, California. In an area one-third of an acre, there are over thirty sculptures and sixteen houses built by Tressa Prisbrey out of an estimated one million bottles and other discarded items which she collected from a nearby dump.

Grandma Tressa Prisbrey began building the Bottle Village in 1956, when she was sixty years old. Tressa was collecting pencils, as a hobby, for the last few decades and had amassed 17,000 of them. She needed a place to keep them. At first she thought she would build a storehouse, but when she realized that cinder blocks are too expensive, she decided to make one out of bottles instead. Tressa got the idea after seeing a bottle house at the Knott's Berry Farm theme park in Buena Park, California.

Art is more than just the form or medium that is used to create the art. It is not only about the creativity of the artist and his or her imagination but also the subject that inspires the work of art. In this article we will focus on works of art that is inspired by villages. By villages, we mean those rural areas where the influence of the city is very minimal and where the vistas are closer to nature than they would be in other areas. The village theme does have a lot of merits and that is why people go for country club décor for weddings. We are not saying here that cities do not have a charm all their own as is proven with these magical pictures of London, which will leave you enchanted.
