A great photo. I visited Garni 1 year ago and unfortunately, there was no time for a hike to see this natural wonder.
A few weeks ago, I made a trip to Ireland and saw basalt columns there. Please look in my block. The place in Ireland is called Giants Causeway with about 40.000 columns and is a magnet in this country. I would like to know more about your hike to the basalt columns in Armania. Maybe thats why I should fly to Armenia again.
