HFF from the high Caucasus

HFF from the high Caucasus
Ushguli, in Northern Georgia close to the Russian border at 2,300 m in the high Caucasus Mountains. The tower is one of dozens of Svan mediaeval defence towers in the village. These defended against attackers and invaders. It is, and was even more so, a very remote area. There were marauding bands of thieves, family feuds, and bandits, as well as civil wars up to the early 2000s
Have a wonderful weekend...best wishes and thanks for visiting. Really appreciated.

The defence tower looks strong, much more so than the cottage in the foreground. What were the towers defending?
I love the clear colours and the snowy mountains in the background.

Hi Diana

I really like this photo, and the whole feel of the village which you have created.

It reminds me so much of the abandoned slate mines high up in the Welsh mountains!

Great composition!!

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend

These towers are indeed very characteristic for Svaneti. Thank you for closer explanation. Do they have any use for them in today's era, when the worst bandits and thieves were white collars and neckties?

True indeed! Sadly many are quietly crumbling away. It is stunningly beautiful country
