some pics

Roxy and I at Qarahunj (Stonehenge - Armenian version), which is believed to be a Bronze age observatory.
Tatev village early in the morning.


Rules posted at the monastery. Strictly enforced!


Vicky and the view from one of the monastery buildings. Right in front of her - a sheer drop of almost a mile.

Tatevik at Tatev :)

Tatevik with Tatev...
(This is how they film forced perspective in the movies, right? Between her and the monastery there is a gorge, but can you tell?)

Tatev monastery without Vicky. I would have photoshopped that annoying crane out, but I don't have Photoshop right now...

Tatev was not only a monastery, but also a school, library and science center in medieval Armenia. And, obviously, a citadel as well. Quite impressive, and one of the most beautiful monasteries I've seen in Armenia.
