Mysterious Europe through eyes of Azerbaijani travelers

By Azernews

New art project dedicated to the 25th anniversary of relations between Azerbaijan and the European Union has been presented in Baku.

The photo project titled "Interesting Europe" is a unique view of travelers Rustam Huseynov and Aydin Sadikhov on Europe its nature and historical artifacts.

The exhibition featuring photographs of gems of Renaissance architecture as well as places associated with the very interesting legends about Dante, Faust, Dracula and Van Helsing took place at Baku Art Villa gallery.

Among the most interesting exhibits were the photos of mysterious Chapel of Bones with its macabre atmosphere. 

The unique exhibition was of great interest of the visitors.

A number of inveterate travelers have already visited the most famous landmarks all over the world, including the Statue of Liberty, Colosseum, Eiffel Tower and others.

However, photographers think that fame should not be the main criterion for choice of tourist destination.

Such great cities as Paris, Rome, Barcelona or Berlin have incredible history and culture, whilst many other cities are also attractive for tourists.

Journey through little-known towns can be even more interesting than the journey to the capitals.

"My photographs is a kind of guide which is hard to find in an unfamiliar city. These routes that are seldom included into the guide books. Nevertheless, there are still  interesting. These mystery places are related to art and literature, and what's most important they give you incredible emotions," said Rustam Huseynov.

"While traveling I try not to follow the standard tourist routes. I'm trying to visit  unknown historical places and sights. The main goal of exhibition is to show interesting mysterious places not only for travelers, but also travel companies that could include them in their tours," said Aydin Sadikhov.
