Armenia - Yerevan - Mount Ararat & City View from Cascade - Huge stairwell built into a Yerevan hillside

    Armenia - Yerevan - Երևան - Capital & largest city of Armenia - One of the world's oldest continuously-inhabited cities - Mount Ararat & City View from Cascade - Huge stairwell built into a Yerevan hillside

    Ararat rises from a flat plain and dominates the skyline of Armenia's capital, Yerevan. Since ancient times, Ararat has been revered by the Armenians as their spiritual home. Today, it is the national symbol of Armenia. The mountain is often depicted by Armenian artists on paintings, obsidian engravings, backgammon boards and other artifacts. From Yerevan, and throughout much of the country, citizens and tourists get a clear glimpse of both peaks, Mount Ararat and Little Ararat.

      Beautiful image Lucie! Interesting bit of info too.. never even considered going to Armenia until I've seen your stunning shots of this country! Love the mountain backdrop.. great contrast against the city below.

      What a spectacular view. Great contrasts in colors (blue sky, yellow city) and textures (soft sky and hard edged buildings). Makes me want to just stand and stare.

      Dag Lucie,

      I'm running behind on your images my dear, but will make it up to you, today it's Lucie day ;-)
      Seems you keep on traveling around, wish i had so much time that i could also do that. Armenia, not the first country i'm thinking of, but seeing this.....that view.....beautiful. The cloud that is wrapping around the mountain....what a great shot my dear.....i really like this one.

      Groetjes, Henk
