Forward to the past (vol.13). The Omsk Gate

in photography •  7 years ago 

Already managed to show the past of the Tarski and Irtysh gates, today is the turn of the Omsk gate.

Of all four fortress gates, the Omsk Gate is the only one that has been rebuilt in its place. By the time of the restoration, at the place where they once stood, there was already quite a busy intersection.

On the "ghost" of the past, you can see where the gates are now and how they had settled earlier.

From this perspective, the changes are very tangible, the city, at least in the photo became completely unrecognizable. And the search for the location of these gates, even before their restoration, took quite a long time. I had to analyze no photos to accurately position them.

Clearly, all the changes on this morph.
