SteemitPhotoChallenge #43 "Derelict" Entry - 1: "Vladivostok Fortress"
A whole complex of various fortifications and structures was erected here in the late nineteenth century, placing emphasis on all the mistakes that the generals made during the Russo-Japanese War. That is why this fortress became one of the most serious fortifications of that time, although it was completed only by 2/3, as the Tsar's plans were interrupted by large investments during the First World War. And then the construction was not restored, since the October Revolution began.
Now, this once majestic complex is slowly being destroyed under the influence of time, salty sea air and vandals...
