Mother Armenia

You can actually get pretty close to this special statue, but I took advantage of a new zoom lens capability catch this sunset profile. The Mother Armenia statue located in Haghtanak Park (Victory Park) and overlooking downtown Yerevan. Underneath the statue is the Mother Armenia Museum of the Ministry of Defense, and next to the statue is an amusement park. My hosts took me through the park to the base of the statue, but I still like this distant picture better, as most of the Yerevan citizens see Mother Armenia from a great distance down the hill.
