I'm use this thead to post pictures from Russia...
Here are some pictures I took of this Fort. It was a stronghold that managed to hold off Germans and provide cover for "Road of Live" during Leningrad siege.(Hence the beat up look of it)

The only way to get to Fort, other than to swim, is to take a 10 minute ride on a boat.
High on the roof restoration is in progress: fresh paint.
Highly secured entrance to the Fort.
Direction sign for the lost travelers
Couple 45s mm(?) displayed for public. They were used to hold off fluffy Germans.
Inside that structure, a memorial stands
This is an old style holding cell that used to hold family members of Tsar.
