The Armenian landscape is one of rough beauty. Centrally located approaching the city of Dilijan we came upon mass amounts of trash laying out on a mountainside, but this is't uncommon. Even the fact that it was burning in the daylight was also something that seemed normal. But the fact that it continued to rage into the night surprised me more than anything. Every system has their flaws, and Armenia is a very new nation in todays world. Hopefully soon this idea of trash burning will be a thing of the past.
Dilijan, Armenia
These apartment buildings are just one of the many results of failed USSR projects still halfway standing in Armenia today. Originally there were more than double the amount here, as part of a large complex of homes that were supposed to be completed, but never were. Armenian families have taken over a few apartments here and there, but a majority of the buildings have been decaying since the fall of the Soviet Union. Ghost-town, as it has been deemed is located on the outskirts of Gyumri, Armenia.
Mount Ararat is a dormant compound volcano in the eastern extremity of Turkey. Standing just under 17,000 ft, it is the traditional resting place of Noah's Ark according to the Book Of Genesis. It is the main national symbol of Armenia and is considered a "holy mountain" by Armenians.
