This gallery contains my best images of Georgia from the latest 2016 trip through Kakheti region.
I summarized my feelings and thoughts about this trip and country itself at the corresponding Russian page, but it will be relatively time-consuming to fully translate it. Sorry my dear reader, but I would better spend this time shooting and processing more photos 🙂 Nevertheless, you may find English captions over the all gallery images.
