[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was taken on a day hike up in the mountains behind Mestia. My friends (one from Kazbegi, one from Mestia) are expert mountain climbers and so this hike was like a stroll for them. While I was excited to have a reason to put on my hiking boots, they trotted up and down the mountain wearing Docksiders (shoes with no traction whatsoever).

Forget having a chalet in Switzerland, I would take a mountain hut in Svaneti any day!

HI becky,
Very nice photo of this beauiful region. Its nice that you are posting some photos from here, because there aren't many. YOu are a brave woman going all the way up there. Did you take a beat up Niva jeep that would turn off the ignition every time it was going downwards?
Regards
Daniel

Hi Rebecca
very impressive scene you capture. all that wooden huts and the snow on the mountain created a great view.
thanks for sharing

Nice picture, Rebecca. Love the scenery of the barely trodden upper terrain. I like the fact that you dont include any sky in the picture, creating the impression of mountains with extreme heights.

nice picture Rebecca :o)
welcome to TE
regards

It's amazing as for me :) Great effect, composition couldn't have been better, but I think the snow surfaces are a bit too glossy. Anyway, great.
