Description:High angle panorama shot of men in military uniforms with their accouterments and horses in back view. They are in ordered formation, facing in the direction of a monument in the background.
Comment:The St. Nikola peak is one of the three mountain peaks (Shipka, Orlovo gnezdo), where a series of armed conflicts, collectively referred to as "The Battle of Shipka Pass", were fought between the Russians (aided by Bulgarian volunteers) and the Ottoman Empire during the Russo-Ottoman War of 1877 - 1878. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Russo-Ottoman War a historical re-enactment of the battles took place.
