Found myself back in Armenia a couple of weeks ago.

Garni temple, built in the first century by King Tiridates.





Heading up the gorge.



Geghard Monastry, where the lance used to spear Jesus on the cross was kept for centuries, apparently. Most of the place is carved into solid rock.



Two guys living in a bus in the middle of nowhere. About 7500 msl.



Collision avoidance Armenian style. On the ground in a field so we didn't hit the jet in the distance as it came into land.



Yerevan International Airport. The old Russian terminal is on the left, the new one, a couple of years old on the right.



Some kind of Communist monument.



The highest peak in the Aragats Mountains, 13,419 msl.



Shepherd camp, about 11,000 msl.



Relics of an industrial giant.





Another centuries old monastry.



A cross. Made up of 1070 crosses if I understood correctly.
