Ich bin waldviertel: Ich Bin Waldviertel: Martin and Christian (brothers who spend their summer holidays in Waldviertel) watch Alena in one of the barns, August 6, 2014. Hannah and Alena are two sisters who live in Merkenbrechts, a bioenergy village of around 170 inhabitants in Waldviertel, an isolated rural area of Austria, near the Czech border. The girls have two older brothers, but spend much of their time together in a carefree life, swimming, playing outdoors and engrossed in games around the house. A bioenergy village is one which produces most of its own energy needs from local biomass and other renewable sources. The photographer has been photographing Hannah and Alena since 2012. She visits them for a few weeks, usually at summertime, every year, watching them growing up and spending time together. (Photo by Carla Kogelman//World Press Photo)
