Koruldi Lakes, above Mestia, 12/9/2010

Described by one recent visitor as "Hardly lakes at all - more like ponds... not worth the trouble".  (And trouble it was - 1.5 hours of very rough roads in an old Soviet-era Vilis 4x4.)  But to a photographer a real gift, natural reflectors of the already magnificent scenery.  This blog's header panoramic photo is from the same lakes, the same day.  Near these lakes, hidden by an interposed hill of slate, Ushba's twin peaks brood hugely.  More soon on my attempt to scale that hill and see the monster up close.
And... Happy Birthday Gill, hope you have a great one, Lali & I are thinking of you massively today!
