Still standing by Michael Gimenez Rodriguez de vera

This photo is taken in the Caucasus just before sunset. This is an old medieval fortress. The fort used to play a crucial role in defense of the gorge. The fort high position permitted to defend all kinds of entrance. The frontier goes now to the former kingdom of Alania, today Republic of North Ossetia, Russian Federation. The site is an exception because all around the gorge the territory belongs to Russian Federation and the enter is strictly prohibited. They confiscated the territory after the war and kept it despite critics from UN. The site is guarded by military rangers because they can’t allow anyone to enter Russian territory without risking retaliation for negligence. The photo is actually taken from forbidden territory and I had a tchat with military because of it.  He was mad at the beginning but it turned out to be fine and showed me some places I could go (thanks mate!).

Gladiators of Fortune ! by Sunil

Every Black buck stag aspires to be the alpha male in the herd with territorial and mating rights. That is nature’s inherent way of keeping the strongest among the species in the gene pool. When challengers come their way, a brutal confrontation unfurl to regain supremacy. They lock horns, kick up dust and the battle rages on till only one gladiator grace the arena. And the girls are watching !!
