Gibraltar?

No, you’re getting colder

 

[kelvedon]

No, you’re getting colder

Russia, Georgia, Armenia, these are between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea and the other direction from Gibraltar.

Ahh - I should have realised that - I've just finished reading Stalin's wine cellar

Yes ! My feeble attempt at a riddle !

Home of wine and a murderous swine….. the birthplace of wine and Stalin
I lie between two seas……………….……..Caspian and Black
To the mountains of my spine…………….. Caucasus Mountains
Politicians align………………………………Caucus.. ( plural ?!)
Betwixt two continents i do squeeze………the border between Europe and Asia

oh and the Ancient Greeks thought the Caucus mountains were one of the pillars of the world!

So with the Stalin reference the Google tells me he was born in Georgia.

 

[kelvedon]

@kelvedon what is the location in Georgia. Only interested to know as I have not been there and use threads like this one and the Trip Report thread to provide some inspiration to either build a trip to a particular country(ies), region(s) or place(s) or if it is may be a side trip from somewhere else near by that I was planning to go to.

I did a trip report on Georgia. I'd very higly reccommend it.

Uncorking the Caucasus. EY F Apartment to Georgia (birthplace of wine) & Azerbaijan

Today starts a bit of a jump into the unknown; a week in the Republic of Georgia and a few days in Azerbaijan. Fortunately that jump will be eased by going SYD-AUH on Etihad's A380 in one of their F apartments, claimed using AA miles :) . This trip came about in a way completely appropriate to...

Ah. No wonder I didn't recognise it - it was fogged in the day I visited! (But I still managed to accidentally visit Armenia that day )

Yes, a Berber village in the the High Atlas, south-east of Marrakesh, on the way to Ouarzazate, which as everyone knows is Morocco's movie capital!

It looks like a large slightly concave mirror in a desert. So some kind of solar farm. No idea where though.
