•  Support Slightly imbalanced (the tower should just a little further down and to the right), but overall the colors and layers come together to make this a great image. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:39, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
•  Support It’s a nice combination to see, in one picture, a closeup of an Ingush tower, an ensemble of such towers (background at the left) and the surrounding landscape. I wish we could get rid of the ulgy modern buildings in the valley, but … they are there, after all. --Aristeas (talk) 09:04, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

• I agree, houses on the right do look sort of monotonous and odd in the landscape. That is the result of urgent post-disaster planning. A huge landslide and catastrophic flooding wiped out nearly three fourths of old houses in the area in the early 2000s. A new village had to be constructed from stretch in very short amount of time, like two or three months, to accommodate all the homeless and meet deadlines before winter cold. Interestingly, first settlers in the village in the early 19th century were people from nearby Georgia, hence the Georgian name: Olgetti. --Argenberg (talk) 19:39, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
