Chronicle of Georgia: Grassy Slope Below the Pillars

Grassy Slope Below the Pillars. Tip for visitors: come in the late afternoon — the climb is cooler, the bronze catches the low sun and the reservoir turns silver below. The way up to the Chronicle of Georgia, photographed in the warm evening light. Georgia is called the cradle of wine: grape seeds and clay vessels show winemaking here some 8,000 years ago, and the qvevri method is listed by UNESCO.
