In the far distance you see Dych-Tau, Koshtan and Elbrus. See also: http://www.summitpost.org/image/410356/170909/summit-view.html Cheers!

great picture

Voted 10/10

What can be more beautiful than Caucasus... It seems Lermontov and Pushkin are still there. And all the mess is certainly there today. Great picture and page!
