Tbilisi is an exhilarating jumble of ancient architecture alive with a vibrant culture.
As the capital of the Republic of Georgia, Tbilisi is the country's largest city. Situated near the Silk Road, Tbilisi has long been important in world history. Today the city showcases medieval, neoclassical, Art Nouveau, modern, and Stalinist architecture.
With its past steeped in multiculturalism, tourists can explore time periods encompassing Soviet rule and Georgian independence. Old Town Tbilisi offers local art, wine houses, and family restaurants. Local cafes serve traditional khachapuri bread alongside meat dumplings called khinkali.
After luxuriating in a sulfur bath, cross the famous Dry Bridge. Explore the Holy Trinity Cathedral, the third largest Orthodox cathedral in the world. A funicular ride to Mtatsminda Park keeps kids engaged while adults enjoy the view. Visit Kartlis Deda, the stunning statue of a woman guarding the Republic of Georgia, by hopping the aerial tramway.
Every block offers flavors from the traditional supra, or feast. Meats are grilled while you wait. Churchkhela, a candy made of boiled fruit juice and nuts, is traditionally made in the fall. Many eating establishments make their own house wine.
Stroll along Rustaveli Avenue, meet the city's free-roaming cats and dogs, and explore Tbilisi's Old Town and architecture with the full-color photos in Tableaus of Tbilisi: From Rustaveli Avenue to Narikala Fortress(a Travel Photo Art book).

At twenty-seven, Laine Cunningham seemed to have it all: tons of friends, a college degree, plenty of all-night parties, and a secure job. Yet every morning she dragged herself through a life that was corporatized and overly industrialized, a life that falsely glamorized everything she was supposed to want.
Guided only by a map pulled from an old copy of National Geographic, she camped in the Australian Outback for six months...and she did it alone.
Traveling in a time before Expedia or Travelocity, and without any guidebook or travel guide from Lonely Planet, the trip was never intended to be a vacation. Instead, it was a search for something deeper, something that lay inside. Cheap plane tickets or the cost of the airfare were far less important than the investment Laine made in herself.
The self-guided adventure tour around the country covered nearly 17,000 miles. Hostels were preferred to hotels, and then only when camping under the stars wasn't an option. Otherwise, her best accommodation was the red sand and her only travel guide was her instinct about where on the map to explore next.
Told with warm humor and sparked with suspense, the search revealed a woman's most important discovery: herself.

For centuries, Assisi, Italy has been the focus of spiritual activity. The ancient city might be best known as the birthplace of Saint Francis, yet the tangled streets offer much more than a pilgrimage.
Situated in the Province of Perugia, the compact city perches in Monte Subasio National Park on the Apennine Mountains. The views from nearly anywhere in the ancient city are spectacular. Mists rise up from the olive groves early in the morning. Soon the rays of the sun pierce the air and slant across the valley below.
Walking trails wander for kilometers outside the city's stone walls. A shady park perched near the very top of the town offers a restful spot for contemplation. Several times a day, the bells of the various churches ring out, while flocks of silky black jackdaws call while wheeling overhead.
Today Italy in general and Umbria in particular are striking places for tourism with unique architecture, a mild climate, and Mediterranean culture. The cuisine is renowned, and fresh pasta dishes spiced with tomatoes, meats and fish, pecorino and parmesan cheeses, and olive oil can be found at inexpensive restaurants.
Travel tips and facts about wildlife, food, rental cars, camping, adventures, travel and tourism, cultural tours and more are easy enough to find on travel sites like Expedia or Travelocity. Entire trips can be planned using guidebooks like those from Lonely Planet. Now visitors to Italy can expand their knowledge base with an artist's view of Assisi, Monte Subasio, and scenic locations.
The forty color photos in Ancients of Assisi I explore these areas as well as the secret Assisi, the Roman city hidden below the buildings. The photographs in Ancients of Assisi I and II were taken at the Basilica di San Francesco, including the Basilica inferior and the Basilica superior; the Sacro Convento, a Franciscan friary; the Rocca Maggiore, a castle that is 800 years old; Santa Maria Maggiore; the Basilica of Santa Chiara, or Saint Clare; and the Roman Domus of Propertius and the Domus of Lararium, both of which are underground.
Of special note in this first collection is a dove that settled inside the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, recalling the legend of Saint Francis preaching to the birds. Turn the page to step back through thousands of years of history.
Prepare yourself for Umbria's monasteries, cathedrals, ancient stone architecture, winding streets, and lively community nightlight with the forty full-color photos in Ancients of Assisi I and the additional forty full-color photos in Ancients of Assisi II.
