I had read about the Vladivostok fortress only in history textbooks. Thanks your blog, I was able to see it through your eyes. 430 m altitude is not a very easy trek either for many city dwellers but as you have pointed out, it is quite refreshing to get away from the hustle bustle of busy city life. I like the fantastic photographs - especially the pink flower and the stunning sky views. It is sad that vandalisation affects such great monuments. It is a problem I have seen in some other countries as well. I hope that people realise that we need to preserve such historic buildings. Thanks for your wonderful description of the trek. Upvoted.

I request you to visit my blogs if possible sometime. Your comments and feedback will be most welcome.
