Tblisi, loved this city, such contrasting contradictions of loveliness. Away from the touristy bits in the main.
I loved it that much that today I left "the ladies who drink wine and shop" to enjoy their time on an organised route march to various museums..... and holy shit! you are kidding me! churches? Oh my days. See ya tomorrow.
Be warned right here right now. This is my route march, starting to the east of the city.
YOU WILL SEE TOURISTY STUFF TOO. (at some point)
When I am wandering.
When I am snapping.
I get carried away.
I can't help myself.
I bin two thirds of the snaps.
But if it isn't in the camera.
Then who knows what I have missed.
Thank fuck I am not using 35mm film!
Upload overload.
I try to win your hearts and minds, your love, your everlasting support by keeping my content short, shortish, of medium length.
So my lovelies I have split my wanderings into bite sized nibbles. So please join me as we see random bits of
The old
And the new

Just abandon your bashed up vehicle on the road seems to be the order of the day
Ancient balconies signs and gates
This little wander started somewhere waaaaaay beyond the Georgian Church (enjoy ladies!). Just me, my trusty snapping machine and two cans of red bull

Well that's a relief

I had seen this from the city centre the previous evening, and was intrigued, the closer I got the more interesting it became. It looked like a birdcage
it was in fact the Georgian national University, a medical campus and associated medical facilities.
The Georgian offices of SOCAR, the Azerbaijan state owned gas and oil company

STOPWow, such a contrast with the old and new.
Some buildings look like they crumble away any moment.
Great captures, thanks for showing us these opposites 😎
cheers @littlebee4 hope you are enjoying New England
Cheers @grindle
Oh I so am 😎🍂🍁 going of the beaten path into the mountains… very interesting hehehe 🤭
Enjoy your day!
nice enjoy your day
Thanks, will do 😊
Enjoy your Thursday.
This city seems to me sensationally a city of contrasts, quite big differences between those glass buildings and those houses with bars on the windows.
yes indeed, wonderful when you get out of the city and wander through the suburbs
This is also one of my pleasures, yes getting lost on such streets in the suburbs.
👍
I like old and new combos. I especially like grungy shots and narrow wonky streets though. You found some good ones I see.
cheers @leaky20 , yes wonky was good . tbh Tbilisi is a gorgeous city of contrasts
Just went to a Georgia restaurant for dinner tonight. Would you recommend the country for holiday?
without question, it is a stunning country, team it up with Armenia its neighbour, both offer so much to see and visit. Deffo in my top 10 trips
They're not top tourist hot spots, but sometimes it's nice to go to less popular places. I'll probably true to get to Georgia sometime to visit martibis, the guys who owns Pinmapple
yes they are not a tourist hot spot, but to me that is perfect, they still have fantastic infrastructure and places to eat and sleep
Your trip was pretty lite, loved the walk. Say those buildings sure looks old, what city is this??
Tbilisi x
Wow! Tbilisi is beautiful though I can perceive it to be an old City with lots of relics. It's indeed a 'contrasting contradictions of loveliness'. Thank you for sharing.
cheers @sashatechno thankds for stopping by, it is a wonderful city trust me lol. There are a couple more uploads to follow, I hope you enjoy those too.

cheers @livinguktaiwan @pinmapple thanks for sharing the love
Old back alleys great explore, modern city I like the tree. Signage pretty different, perhaps moonshine required to get home to old balconies !LOLZ
Looks interesting stark reality between two parts of the city.

yes contrasts indeed, overall I think there is more old than new
Old is interesting, new is clinical, still enjoy old town feel.
yes love vintage but admire new architecture
