This photo might seem not to show much, except the excessive green colour. A fantastic green colour of the Greater Caucasus mountains. It has been taken randomly somewhere in South Ossetia.

Randomly, as our journey from Vladikavkaz to Georgia led through the chaotic area (de facto fragile independent from the government in Tbilisi) following the First South Ossetia War.

As suggested, our intention was to travel to Georgia on land, and improvising took us to an unforseen path, sitting in the marshrutka (routed taxicab) with locals, heading to Cxinvali and very quickly hop on another bus to Tbilisi...
