Caucasus, Georgia - the Photo Gallery

As you know the northern border of Georgia is Caucasian mountains. Traveling for holidays to Georgia you could not leave this part of the country without interest. To assure all of you in this suggestion I put here just couple of photos.

                                
                                                                            panoramic view


Mount Kazbek (5033 m = 16.512 ft) (Georgianყაზბეგი (or მყინვარწვერი)OsseticСæнаRussianКазбекChechenБашлам), is a dormantstratovolcano and one of the major mountains of the Caucasus located on the border of Kazbegi District of Georgia and North Ossetia[3]. It is the third highest mountain in Georgia (after Mount Shkhara and Janga) and the seventh highest peak in the Caucasus Mountains. The summit lies directly to the west of the town of Stepantsminda and is the most prominent geographic feature of the area. The name in GeorgianMkinvartsveri, translates to "glacier" or "Ice Mountain". The Vainakh name Bashlam translated as Molten Mount.


On the photo you can mention one of the most beautiful architectural buildings in Georgia the Trinity Church of Georgeti
