Swallow's nest, a photo from Krym, East

Photographer's Note

The Swallow's Nest (Ukrainian: Lastivchyne hnizdo) is a decorative castle near Yalta on the Crimean peninsula in southern Ukraine. It was built between 1911 and 1912 in Gaspra, on top of 40-metre (130 ft) high Aurora Cliff, to a Neo-Gothic design by the Russian architect Leonid Sherwood. The castle overlooks the Cape of Ai-Todor of the Black Sea and is located near the remnants of the Roman castrum of Charax. Swallow's Nest is one of the most popular visitor attractions in Crimea, becoming the symbol of Crimea's southern coastline.

Hi Dmitry,
What a unique and fascinating building, and positioned in such a strange place too. Black and white is a great choice as it gives a sense of age to the castle.
Fascinating image and note, thank you.
Best wishes
Noel
