Jvari Monastery: Aerial Panorama of the Terraced Slopes

Aerial Panorama of the Terraced Slopes. High above the hill, the drone shows the long terraces cut into the slopes and the river winding toward Mtskheta. The hill changes with the seasons: brown and bare in early spring, bright green by June, golden again in autumn. The Mtkvari flows on through Tbilisi and across Azerbaijan to the Caspian Sea — the main river of the South Caucasus.
