cXc in the Land of the Golden Fleece

Jason and the Argonauts set out to reach ancient Colchis and capture the golden fleece. This picture was taken at Tsikhidziri (and that's one of the more easily pronounceable Georgian names), a medieval fortress in western Georgia on the Black Sea coast. This picture is from last year, but I am once again in Georgia, sporting a similar beard as I tramp through the mountains looking for the secrets of ancient metal production.
