My friend and I left Tbilisi in the morning and made a couple stops on the way to Kazbegi, a village in a beautiful mountainous area (see pictures on the TE Georgia page) in northern Georgia, close to the border with Russia (North Ossetia/Ingushetia). That's our taxi stopped on the side of the road.
The great thing about Georgian roads is that they are wide enough to allow for all sorts of improvisation when driving. This road, for instance, is nominally a two-lane road (one lane in each direction), but if the person in front of you is driving too slowly, you can pass him to his right OR to his left (down the middle of the road), depending on where he's positioned, even if a car coming in the opposite direction is doing the exact same thing - one or both of you will slow down sufficiently or swerve to keep from hitting the other. |

Hi Becky,
I found the half person in blue in the left a bit distracting so i cropped him off, I then played with the levels.
Hope you like it
Regards

Rebecca,
I hit the contrast in Picasa 2, then went to Photo Shop 3.0 to darken highlights and mid-tone contrast. Then I ran the shot through Neat Shop to clean up just a little sky noise. I would also consider a minor crop in the foreground. Hope you like it.
