Khizi District

Azerbaijan is not on the main tourist track, and once inside this country there is hardly any mention of scenic spots. Somehow, I managed to find these hills and our driver was willing to take us there. According to Lp, a reporter originally coined this name for the area. I was amazed how much this reminded me of similar rocks in the United States. These hills are to be found in the Eastern part of the country, in the foothills of the great Caucasus Mountains. The area is quite accessible and would be great for some sunrise or sunset photography. Unfortunately I had to make do with the middle of the morning, but still want to share this patch of beautiful landscape here.
