Europe and Asia border

Some pictures of Europe and Asia borded that is pretty close to Ekaterinburg. That was a motorbike ride to this places on an autumn sunset.

Many visitors from all over the world visiting this places. In fact the new metalic monument is a fake one. This monument have nothing in common with these two geo tectonic plates which is merge at this plates, and it’s because it hard to recognise the real mountains in this particular spot. Two of the real monuments are in 40 km from the city of Ekaterinburg and there you can observe the hill – the line of continent division.

But the fake one is also very important place because of it was a grave of many political victims of USSR-era and their leaders. During the reconstruction of the new highway from Ekaterinburg to Moscow they found tons of human bones. And when it becames well-known, many people who lost their relatives in the prisoner’s camp which was situated here, came into this place and put the candles and pictures to the trees. Later govenrment had forced to stop the road reconstruction and in few years here was founded a monument of the political victims.
