Construction and Graffitti

With all the construction in Georgia and especially Tbilisi, these massive trucks are everywhere! They look like giant beetles!
Ha, I like 'em. Much of the construction in Old Tbilisi is to keep up with the growing tourist industry. Much of the time they keep the facade and make it a casino, hotel, or restaurant.


This is just my first installation of the graffiti in Tbilisi. I have a strange fascination with graffiti from all over the world. Better write that in my list of future Geography articles! The top one is interesting politically, it is a rendering of Mikhail Saakashvili. He has aligned himself quite closely with Western Europe and the US, some Georgians are not to keen on that. The election is next fall. I just like the next two and as I sit in this cafe I spy another cool one...until next time.
