Merry Christmas! Yerevan Lights

Republic Square with government buildings in the background

Congress Hotel - the trees in the balconies are real

Canope lights over Abovyan Street.  Unfortunately, the pictures didn't come out very well.  The lonely dot at the top of the photo is the full moon.

Square One - corner of Northern and Abovyan

Northern Avenue.  The pictures don't do it justice.  They have these lights that look like snow is falling.  So beautiful!

Northern Avenue

Moskovichka display on the corner of Teryan and Northern. Opera is in the background.  My office is just a few steps away from this.

This is a statute of an old man giving flowers.  Apparently, this man became crazy after suffering serious heartbreak and began handing out flowers on the streets to the beautiful women of Yerevan.  He was not a beggar.  He just gave out flowers.  When he passed away, they built this statute to remember him.   This is right across the street from my office on Teryan.

Moskovichka display corner of Sayat Nova and Abovyan.  I usually do my groceries at this one.
