Noravank, my personal favorit. Most beautiful yet simple architecture I saw in Armenia.
I was in the metro, and could not help but be sad for all of the people with such bereaved expressions.
Taken at day-break, from village in Artashat.. formerly known as Yuva.
Taken from the ruins of erebuni, above the museum
This mountain trully is, in an unfilling way, powerful from all angles.
The Mother Church, St. Grigor the Illuminator Church. As I was walking to its entrance on the other side, I looked up just in time to see the Crosses lined up as they aein the picture, I was amazed at how I have never seen this angle in any pictures before, I thought it was magnificant.
I had th pleasure of driving this vehicle, i call it a pleasure because at how rare such a chance is; to feel the sorrows, the shortcomings of one who struggles for the very food he feeds to his family.
This is saxmosavank. I regret that i did not take a picture of its outside walls closeup; the bullet holles, braught the fighting of our ancestors all to vividly to the eyes of my imagination. When you stand there and allo this feeling to come, and deeply think about the past of our ancestors, you simply feel proud of your homeland. Only later for the feeling to be shattered by all the caos you see in teh government, and how people litter without thought.
How could one pass by such a homely scene and not commit it to memory, and share.
I took over 1,000 pictures at Armenia and over 5 hours of video in the 21 days i was there.

This guy's nose was horribly disgusting, and an unfair exageration.. overal, an ugly statue.
Pazeh, I used a Kodak 3.2 MP. The picture quality is amazing for the price and specifications. Particularly when printing photos below 5X8 dimensioning.
Glad you guys enjoyed the pictures.

Looking down from about 100 steps up
The only thing i found odd wbout it was the statue at the top. Somehow I managed not to take a picture of it, but it was of a bear like creature, naked, male parts and all.. extremely ugly and awkwardly placed. Did not belong. But, luckily you can not see that until you are completely at the top.
