The desolation and sorrow in that last shot is so well-sculpted.
With a recent death in the near-immediate family (Husband’s childhood neighbour, who were pretty much a second family as well as a huge influence in general and a major contributor to the community, with few of those left out in that rural corner of the country), this strikes a chord.

rq, my condolences!
All three pictures reinforce each other.
Vesi on elämä. (Water is life, in Finnish) It seems the words for water (vesi) and the verb used for living, being alive (elää), from which the word for life (elämä) is derived from are among the oldest in the language, common vocabulary for Uralic languages. I’m sure the Uralic languages aren’t unique with this.
