Gergeti

We are currently in Stepantsminda in Georgia. It as an area of magnofocent mountains with Mount Kazbegi with a peak altitude of 5047m towering over the town. I quickly reliazed that watercolour is not going to give me the definition I want to capture the mountains, but still did a quick watercolour study during a hike we did yesterday. The building is one of three buildings at the Gergeti Trinity Church. I am not a church fanatic (I am serious about my faith, but not about churches), but I really appreciate the effort that the Georgians put into these hundreds of years’ old buildings. It is built from raw limestone and the material had to be elevated by more than a 1000m from the town of Stepandsminda to the site of this church.
