By the River Mtkvari 5
The Past and the Present
I took this photo beneath the Peace Bridge, a modern pedestrian bridge at the Old Tbilisi section of the Georgian capital. I included a section of the steel beam of the new bridge (upper left corner) to blend with the silhouette of the medieval Metekhi Church and King Gorgasali statue overlooking the Mtkvari River. A similar image was included in my previous post about the Metekhi Church but without the steel beam.
This is the last post for this series. Stay with me as we move on to the ‘wine lands’ of Georgia.

The drag of endless mental work in a strange land takes its toll. Fatigue can kill so petty escapades provide hopeful deviations from the brewing madness. An aging DSLR keeps good company to a walk around the neighbourhood, a short drive to a scenic place, or a silent recollection in a quiet nook granting that the host community and the elements of nature would allow one a safe passage to solitude and contemplation. Loneliness quickly turns to joy when something exciting gets captured by the cam’s shutter then set free into the laptop’s screen followed by electric words that rush from the fingers to the keyboard in an effort to describe the moment. Alas, the brain is alive once again!
Beautiful. Love the layering in this one!
Thank you, Ladies.
I have fallen in love with this river through your wonderful images. Thanks for sharing them.
I did too when I first saw it, Judy. Thanks for following the series. Truly appreciate it.
Stunning!
Thanks, Rebecca.
Excellent
Thanks.
And my comment must start at the landing page of mine for today. Just got up and while lying on my bed, took my mobile to check my email. Got your post notification. I read it on the email itself.
I had to click on the post and read on your blog, for it being so beautifully captured. Mobile screen seemed smaller. Turned my laptop on and came straight to your blog. Haha… you are a mobilizer Mr. Captain, and you moved a lazy bug like me.
Nice one up here and explored more of your links. Have great stuff to learn, explore and understand. Will keep dropping by every now and then.

Beautiful capture of light and diagonals.
I love the light, and that piece of steel beam is perfection!
It takes some skill to take a picture like this! Beautiful!
The colors and slant are beautiful!
