"Sword of Damocles", nr Ushguli, Svaneti, August 2007

I had noticed this delicately hanging slate blade several trips prior, on the walk through Svaneti in June. This was the first time I photographed it, though. How long has it waited like this? Months, years, decades? I wouldn't advise standing under it: it is big enough and sharp enough to split or decapitate someone if it falls.
