Where the hills of Gareja watch the lone horse

photo rights reserved by Ben

In the foreground of this image, a lone horse grazes calmly on a patch of green — a soft, living contrast against the rugged, multicolored hills that stretch endlessly into the background. This is the semi-desert region of Udabno, in eastern Georgia, just next to the David Gareja Monastery Complex, one of the country’s most remarkable religious and historical sites. The surreal, layered landscape behind the horse is known for its painted hills, formed by millennia of wind and erosion. Bands of red, ochre, and pale violet clay ripple across the slopes, creating an almost otherworldly backdrop — a place where nature and history meet in silence. These hills are part of the Iori Plateau, which borders Azerbaijan and surrounds the ancient monastery carved into sandstone cliffs. David Gareja, founded in the 6th century by the monk David of Gareji, is not only a spiritual site but a testament to centuries of monastic life in extreme solitude. Monks once lived in rock-cut cells along these hillsides, far from towns and cities, their lives marked by simplicity, reflection, and the harsh beauty of the land. This photo captures that essence beautifully: a moment of stillness, a creature at peace in a vast and timeless terrain — where faith, wilderness, and silence still linger in the wind.

A lone horse grazes peacefully in the foreground, framed by the softly rippling, multicolored hills near the David Gareja Monastery in eastern Georgia. This semi-desert landscape, shaped by centuries of erosion, creates a surreal backdrop of layered earth tones. Just beyond lies the ancient rock-hewn monastery — a place of silence, faith, and deep solitude. The photo captures a rare stillness where nature and history quietly meet.

Op de voorgrond van deze foto graast een eenzaam paard rustig op een groen stuk grasland — een levend, zacht contrast tegen de ruige, veelkleurige heuvels die zich golvend uitstrekken tot aan de horizon. Dit is de halfwoestijn van Udabno, in het oosten van Georgië, op slechts enkele kilometers van het beroemde David Gareja-kloostercomplex, een van de meest bijzondere religieuze en historische plekken van het land. Het surrealistische landschap op de achtergrond staat bekend om zijn geschilderde heuvels, gevormd door miljoenen jaren van wind, regen en erosie. Lagen van rood, oker, roze en paars klei lopen als golfpatronen over de hellingen — een bijna buitenaards decor dat stilte en tijdloosheid uitstraalt. Deze heuvels maken deel uit van het Iori-plateau, dat grenst aan Azerbeidzjan en het rotsachtige kloostercomplex omringt. Het David Gareja-klooster, in de 6e eeuw gesticht door de monnik David Garejeli, is niet alleen een religieus centrum, maar ook een indrukwekkend symbool van het monastieke leven in afzondering. Eeuwenlang leefden hier monniken in grotten die in de rotsen waren uitgehouwen — ver van steden, in stilte, omringd door niets dan lucht, steen en geloof. Deze foto vangt dat gevoel op bijzondere wijze: een moment van rust, een dier in vrede met zijn omgeving, te midden van een landschap dat tijdloos, spiritueel en ongerept aanvoelt.

Gallop of Flame – Watercolor Realism by khayosart

Gallop of Flame – Watercolor Realism

Gallop of Flame captures the raw, unbridled spirit of freedom in full motion. Rendered in elegant watercolor realism, the horse bursts forth like a wildfire through the dust, mane ablaze with wind and purpose. Every muscle, every strand of hair, every puff of desert grit echoes the primal poetry of movement. This is not just a horse—it is a heartbeat unleashed across an open plain.

Širom otvorena krila

Uvijek me iznova očara kad leptir raširi krila i mirno se prepusti suncu. Ovaj Žutopjegavi crnac (Maniola jurtina) pozirao mi je na travki u ranojutarnjem svjetlu, u svom punom, gotovo nevidljivom sjaju.

I am always fascinated by butterflies when they open their wings wide — as if inviting us into their hidden world of colour and calm. This Meadow Brown (Maniola jurtina) rested quietly on a blade of grass in the soft morning light.

Je suis toujours émerveillé quand un papillon déploie ses ailes au soleil. Ce Myrtil (Maniola jurtina) s'est posé paisiblement au matin.

Ich bewundere Schmetterlinge jedes Mal aufs Neue, wenn sie ihre Flügel ganz öffnen. Dieser Große Ochsenauge (Maniola jurtina) ruhte im Morgenlicht.

Siempre me encanta ver mariposas con las alas abiertas, como si nos revelaran su alma. Este Lobito agreste (Maniola jurtina) descansaba en la hierba bajo la luz de la mañana.

Sempre mi incanta osservare le farfalle con le ali aperte. Questa Maniola comune (Maniola jurtina) si godeva la quiete del mattino.

Wild Beauty!

I always thought this was a wild rose but when I took this photo this morning a woman stopped and said to me "isn't that rugosa rose, lovely?"

I responded by saying indeed they are but thought it was just called a wild rose but she said, no, that is was a rugosa rose! As the saying goes, "everyday is a school day!"

The Wild Garden

Engaging return to this Alpine valley after seven months.
The last snowfall in April still left pleasant traces on the higher peaks and north-facing slopes.
All the meadows are richly coloured with flowers and are a joy to behold.


Il Giardino Selvatico
Molto piacevole il ritorno in questa valle alpina, dopo sette mesi. Montagne ancora discretamente innevate, dopo una abbondante nevicata in Aprile, mentre nei boschi e nelle verdi praterie, le fioriture danno spettacolo.

The wind-masters

Nel cuore delle tempeste atlantiche, dove il vento taglia come lama e le onde ruggiscono contro la costa nera di Vík, i gabbiani danzano nell’aria come se il caos fosse casa. Non lottano contro il vento: lo ascoltano, lo leggono, lo cavalcano. Ogni raffica diventa un alleato, ogni turbolenza un'opportunità. Non si oppongono agli elementi, li abbracciano con maestria leggera. E noi, ancorati alle nostre certezze, dovremmo imparare da loro: non sempre serve resistere per sopravvivere. A volte, basta cambiare angolo d’ala, fidarsi del flusso, e lasciarsi sollevare.

The Quiet Way Home

A narrow path, framed by wild greens and whispers of the ocean ahead. Every step echoes the promise of salt-kissed air and the timeless invitation of the shore. Some roads don’t lead away. They lead back to yourself.
