I love how it fits in so peacefully with its surrounding. One of these days I've got to visit Georgia... and blame the travel bug on you, Tony! ;o)
Hope summer is going well!
Thanks, glad you like it - imagine that some of the stones (chiefly the nicely relief-carved ones)are back in their original places in the structure, 1000 years later... And welcome to Georgia any time! It's a magical place, really. Summer is pretty blazing hot generally but we're now high in the mountains of Svaneti, which is much cooler - we even need sweaters some days.
Great sample of Georgian Orthodoxal architecture!. Cyprus travel
