 Both
fortresses sit on the Black Sea coast and provided panoramic views for those
that occupied them.
The triangular object in the photo on the left is a common site around tourist areas.
Visitors tie a piece of cloth to the poles or tree limb or other fixture
as a symbol of their future return to Crimea. Since most of these were
located in pretty rustic places  and difficult to get to, I surmised that it was
a type of prayer for a safe return to the low ground. Hence, they'd be
alive to return some day.
