There was this "fashion" if I may call it, to rebuild old archeological sites.
This was quite a controversial topic in my country and the rumors have been that the minister of culture at the time just used these projects to redirect monetary flows into certain direction.
I can't tell if that was true but many suspect this was exactly it, "managing" certain volumes of money.
So, together with a group of friends-photographers, I visited the Yailata castle to see how that reconstruction looks like. To my taste, I don't like it at all. In my opinion, the site is now ruined and frankly, I don't see how any historian would approve such actions.
Still, from a photo-POV, this was a beautiful day, with amazing landscapes and seascapes, see for yourself ;)
You probably know by now how much I love Black & White or sometimes referred as Monochromatic photography. I have always believed that while Color Photography shows the external part of our world, Black and White Photography shows the soul, the inner hidden side of everything. Please consider the first photo of this post as my entry today to the established #monomad daily contest by the monochromes account and community and supported by the qurator account, thank you everyone for your hard and continuous efforts to build and grow this great community!
