TATEV, ARMENIA, JUNE 2000
and the surrounding area

The monastery at Tatev was destroyed in an earthquake in about 1932, and is still being rebuilt

This pillar is an amazing feat of engineering: it sways in a strong wind or during an earthquake

Demonstration of medieval technology

Misty mountains a few kilometres from Tatev

A bell used to hang from the ceiling here, I think, and the chain is visible

Rainy rocks at Satan's Bridge

This is a place called Satan's Bridge, where the water is supposed to have healing powers
