A Series of Images II

On my way to work.
This is a typical view (in my opinion) of Tbilisi. The roads are not so bad. But the unique features for me are the buildings. There are hundreds of buildings like these, 10-16 storeys. Perhaps it is my misinterpretation, but it seems to be that these were typical Soviet-style buildings that have naturally overtaken Tbilisi's skyline. They are not so much beautiful as they are trite and unimposing.
A similar view from a different perspective. You can see in a distance a number of these same buildings.
This is certainly a unique structure (on the right). It was originally a hotel, but I am not sure what it is now. I think "Jenga" best describes this building.
The Knight in the Panther's Skin. This epic is to Georgians as The Odyssey or the Illiad is to Americans (or Westerners).

Good work Didi! You asked what we would like to see more of, well that hair cut of yours for one - I really like it. You look very Georgian very and very intelligent. So photos from all angles higlighting the natural shape and beauty of your noggin would be great. Please give Malkhaz (of G.S.) a big hug, um and a kiss, for me. Peace, MOLLY
