After a hike up the a mountain side overlooking the city of Mestia, I noticed a lone cabin high on a hilltop covered in snow. With the clouds hanging low over the mountaintops, I snapped a photo of the lonesome dwelling. After spending some time taking in the view, I hiked down the snowy trail by the light of the full moon. Once making it down around 11pm, I enjoyed a khachapuri, a glass of wine, and a cigarette with the owner of a small restaurant in town.
