The photos of the Church are of the center upper hill/mount area above Kutaisi.  This Church was built by King Bagart
in the 11th Century, but was destroyed, in part, by the Turks in the 1651.  What you see here, are the ruins, but very
much still functioning Georgian Orthodox Church, along with it's lamplit doorways, and inner sanctuary.  These
photographs do not do justice nor capture the serene and supreme majestic snow capped (some smaller only green pine
capped) mountain ranges which surround this ancient city here in Eurasia or Eastern Europe.  The Georgian people,
overall, are very hospitable, friendly, and devoutly Orthodox, visiting the many Churchs often.
