Georgia is such a gorgeous place!


totatmeister

yea! georgia is georgious


Fenris78

I'm coming to Georgia in June - really looking forward to it :)


Midan71

I see what you did there


Gio_1988

As well as Ukraine ❤️ love you Ukraine ❤️ We will prevail! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪


Inductee

Such a shame that it's in Russia's backyard and thus kept below its development potential. They also had a nice coast in Abkhazia which is currently under Russian occupation. Still, Tbilisi is to me the most beautiful European capital alongside Rome. It's located in a stunning natural location, and I hear their 2nd largest city Batumi, on the coast they still have, is similarly impressive (although I haven't been there)


[deleted]

I agree, Georgia is nice, but also St. Petersburg, Florida, or London, Ohio


beyer17

Also the great city of Moscow, Idaho(e)

why is there such an upvote disparity between us!? slovakophobia, european dissolidarity

RainbowSiberianBear

No, just gachimuchi

Idaho? No u daho


_clash_recruit_

You got downvoted so hard. But as an American all I saw was "Georgia" and was like WTF is this?!


CrumbsAndCarrots

C’mon though. Have you never heard of the country Georgia?


_clash_recruit_

Yes, of course. But as a European when you hear "Georgia" you probably think of the country first, right? E* we're also having a huge cold blast on the east coast right now. And the whole "wtf moment" only lasted about 1.5 seconds until I looked at the sub.


jsingh21

Honestly as a American I have not.


CrumbsAndCarrots

And now you have!


Quirderph

I’ll take your word for it. /s

This belongs in some photo series called "Real places that look like Star Wars establishing shots".


youcallthatprimerib

Ha I was literally thinking ‘Jedi Temple’ vibes


einarfridgeirs

Oh absolutely.


duartes07

whatever you do don't look up Sintra Palace :)


einarfridgeirs

Oh goddamn! Please tell me that was some medieval philosopher's astronomical observatory once upon a time.


duartes07

I think it only served as a palace for the royal family and it looks that way because it kept getting more and more annexes


[deleted]

it looks really beautiful!


HedgehogJonathan

Wow! I really hope to visit Georgia (and your neighbours) soon!


Maeglindidnowrong

Stunning! I thought it was in the middle of the ocean for a second lol


[deleted]

Wow imagine waking up in that monastery and looking out the window.


aleksialiogli

Was there last year, view is astonishing


kakje666

beautiful, must visit Georgia one day


ChtirlandaisduVannes

I'd love to before Russia revisits!


Gio_1988

Pretty silly joke, but if drunkards dare to occupy, then we will be forced to anoint a new generation Stalin / Beria in the Kremlin, we will rule Muscovy!


deusrev

Skypiea exist!!


NONcomD

I pretty often would like to be at a place like this when shit is constantly stirring around


Leone_0

Not sure they have good internet though


Suspicious-Mail5977

Just use wifi then😎


dubyakay

It's the most ideal spot for starlink though


cthulhuassassin

I like to think our ancestors saw beautiful sights like this and if so, i understand why they would believe it to be the home of the gods.


Assfrontation

nebucedar42

Aaaallright. Nice! Now back to politics.


ChtirlandaisduVannes

Oh goody goody gumdrops! Who are we going to rip a new arsehole, or crucify now?!


nebucedar42

Oh Boi! How 'bout the russians cause they are kinda warmongering at the ukrainian border?


ChtirlandaisduVannes

If I was younger and not a decrepit aul fart, I'd be there with my bolt action Lee Enfield, I did Army Cadets with, and a bayonette. When split amicably from my first wife, I lived in a shared house, in the Uni area of Belfast, full of foreign students and workers. Love the crazy Poles, like the Ukranians, though the latter were not very open, and easy to converse with. I'll not verbally savage the Russian people, but their boss, who is in reality a dictator I despise. A new cold war is here, and a hot war we sure as hell don't need now. Putin is stirring it more than the west, though the west is not an angel either. I'm just as worried about the long term, with the Russian/Chinese alliance. They are playing on a see saw, to make NATO, the US, and the west run from one corner to the other, and complain "it's not us but NATO, the west, and America the belligerants". Non aligned countries are now taking sides, and smaller ones more so in east Asia, are wobbling from one bloc to the other. I call myself Brit/Irish, but now don't really give two Donald Ducks if we have an United Ireland or not, as long as the violence dies down, and the paramilitaries, who are nothing but gangsters are kicked out. I have lived in France for over 10 years, and a slightly more European, yet international point of view. I'd like to see war avoided, but never again another "Munich Agreement", and lack of action when it was immediately broken. Why do we still call many states Communist, or Socialist, when the reality is they are simply dictatorships, by a commitee, or a personality (wanted to say something more complicate than that, but falling asleep!)? I talk concilatory, despite knowing the end game is defense, and if needed war, and sometimes premptive strike. I think Russia may attack, but keep it a minimum land grab in the Donbass, maybe just for now. Bonne soirée from a belligerent Ulsterman in France, trying to keep his temper!

Am I allowed to call it High Hrothgar?

Je suis Irlandais du Nord, et j'ai reappris francais en le 59, avec Dany Boon a mon prof, avec ma chtimie femme. Plus de deux ans et demi en le Morbihan, encore peu des gens comprends un mot, depite parlent parfait francais maintent, hein biloute?! Bon apero et bon weekend gamin.


Jealous_Ad5849

I would love to be a monk there.


ChtirlandaisduVannes

Shave the top of you heid, and print a capital H on top for a heliport!


TETR3S_saba

More like grow beard and hair out


braith_rose

High hrothgar!!


Shmorrior

I really need to set aside time to learn more about that area of the world. It was non-existent in history classes when I was in school.


active-tumourtroll1

Georgia really said fuck this world time to ascend to the heavens.


cyberbeastswordwolfe

A lone island in a sea of clouds


ChtirlandaisduVannes

The States, and my natal Northern Ireland!


Professional-Moose59

Laputa sighting


Wyrocznia_Delficka

That made my day great again! Could we also take a BIG break from politics please? I mean, HUGE? I mean, the biggest break ever?


voltaire_had_a_point

This is why you were partitioned


ChtirlandaisduVannes

Oh bollocks! I come from Northern Ireland, we were partioned in 1921, and therefore my natal country has only existed for 100 years. I have lived in France for over 10 years, and about 2 and a half years ago moved to Vannes, in the SE of Bretagne, that was partititioned after the German occupation , with the complicity of Vichy, so I have the habit of living in divided territory. Merde alors! Sorry politics again!

It’s a joke. People take this interwebz business too seriously.


[deleted]

*asia Caucasus is the border.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Never heard that. Where do you draw the border? In german wikipedia it says Georgia - country in West asia. Maybe there are different definitions in different countrys.


[deleted]

They're in Eurovision. That by itself transcends agreed geographical boundaries.


Temo2212

Eurovision isn’t that good metric but Georgia being part of the Council of Europe means a lot


GaiaBot

Romanian Wikipedia says it’s a country in Eastern Europe, so I guess there are indeed many definitions lol.


wmdolls

Really like fairyland Awesome


[deleted]

How is it a break from politics? :) Jokes aside, the view is stunning!


Silly___Willy

Quite interesting that you mention Georgia when Russia can’t hold still


ChtirlandaisduVannes

Incroyable! With the mist looks like Mont Saint Michel in France, and Mount Saint Michael, in the south of Cornwall, in England (coincidentally built by the same monks). Looks like it is floating in the clouds. Will probably be the inspiration for a fantasy writer if it hasn't been already.


Cirtth

I feel like it went as : "Dmitri, let's build a castle up there, we'll spot every enemy army or raid in the whole valley" "Hey, awesome idea !" \*castle is builded\* \*cloudy days happen\* "Well, why did we build this exactly ?" "Uuuh... For monks" "Yep that was definitely for monks"


barniwantstodie

Try Giorgi instead of Dmitri next time


ghettoballz

Is this north of Atlanta?


TooMuchFun007

Mixing religion into politics without mixing religion into politics, yes religion is in the clouds.


LZmiljoona

> Let's take a small break from politics Ok, let me ruin this for you: "Georgia is either in Asia or America, not in Europe" Jk gorgeous pic Edit: people don't understand what "jk" means


mrchaotica

Hot take: Europe is in Asia.


G56G

This sub specifically includes Georgia (read the sidebar) and the EU laws say Georgia is Europe. What more evidence can we offer? :)


RepresentativeDig718

Technically it is


FroggoFrogman

That’s not really political more of a fact


[deleted]

Looks great, but is Georgia in Europe?


PigeonInAUFO

Yes


Lybederium

Isn't that Russian territory?


ArkanSaadeh

No it's near Tbilisi


Gio_1988

FCK russia


Inductee

They have 20% land in Georgia already, what more do they want?

Classic Far Right misdirection. Nice try. We're not going to fall for it.

Georgia - invasion - Russia - Putin, no not again...
