new series: ... and this is also Georgia

From ...and this is also Georgia

High Mountains, angry shepherd dogs, snow in July, yes, but not only ! Georgia is one of the most diverse places in the world, by climate, by plants, by animals, as well es by people, culture, habit, history and tradition. In this new series "...and this is also Georgia." I try to show you the serene and Dionysian part of Georgia, and especially of Western Georgia.

"Dionysus or Dionysos (English pronunciation: /ˌdaɪ.ɵˈnaɪsəs/; Greek Διόνυσος) is the ancient Greek god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, of ritual madness and ecstasy, and was also the driving force behind Greek theater. This god who inspires joyful worship and ecstasy, festivals, and celebration is a major figure of Greek mythology and the religion of ancient Greece." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionysus
