A Day in Areni Village
Last Saturday was the Wine and Harvest Festival of Areni, a small village in Armenia, very very old, forgotten by time and by the world and yet remains one of the cradles of civilization.
Remember that old shoe found a few years ago, that same 5500 yrs old shoe preserved extraordinarily well? Here's a picture of it (not mine) and
here's an article on it. I'm sure you'll be interested .
Anyway, it's that village in question: Areni.
Let's begin our concise journey with the cave where the shoe was found.
(Older shots with new ones are shown here together)

On the left there's a corridor leading to inner parts of the cave (it's vast)

It's the same place where obviously the earliest winery was unearthed.

Don't even think that it should be a modern village, rich and prosperous. Not at all, but a proud and happy one. See for yourself.

If I have submitted some of these shots previously, I apologize.
A somehow "modern" wine press became an exhibition item outside one of the wine factories

Re: A Day in Areni Village
Wherever there is wine cheese should follow.
And wherever cheese is found bread goes along.

Very nice shots, Doc.
Also, your choice of subject material was - as always - very interesting.

Re: A Day in Areni Village
This was a nice walk around, in the village, Dr. Harout.
I love them all and am very impressed with the bread makers and the wine processing...the fruit looks so healthy and divine... Like a shrine of vines and wine.
Thanks for sharing and good timing too, considering the season.
