Drone View in Early Spring. A drone view from above the parking in early spring, looking across the church to Mtskheta and the shining rivers. Below the cliff the Aragvi and the Mtkvari (Kura) rivers meet — and on many days you can see their two different colours flowing side by side. Mtskheta, across the river, was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Kartli (Iberia) for many centuries before the royal seat moved to Tbilisi.
