•  Info A close-up view of the entire Erzi medieval complex, circa 16th century, illuminated by the rays of the setting sun through broken cloud cover. Fortified Ingush military towers of Erzi, in Armkhi Valley on the northern slopes of the Greater Caucasus Range, Ingushetia, Central Caucasus. All by -- Argenberg (talk) 20:21, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Support Ingush towers are so interesting. I found and successfully nominated a picture of them a while ago but this one is even better. Great light and composition. Cmao20 (talk) 21:45, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Support These remind me a bit of the Svan towers, but there are obvious differences. It seems like the practice of building towers was quite common among various peoples of the Caucasus.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 22:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Aside from other Nakh towers, they most closely resemble the Khevsur and Tushetian towers in Dusheti and Akhmeta territories, modern-day Georgia. --Argenberg (talk) 23:49, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Support Really pleasant motif, and I love the overcast and fog on the mountains and the warm light on the towers. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:23, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Comment There's a strange orange/brown spot on the left edge about 15% down from the top. BigDom (talk) 03:02, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

This is a UFO. I can see at least six other insect UFOs in this photo, and three more UFOs that could be either flying insects or distant birds. --Argenberg (talk) 14:50, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Support per Ikan. The existing Ingush tower FPs are in the “Towers” gallery, hence I have taken the liberty to change the gallery link to that section, too. – Aristeas (talk) 08:13, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
