Hi Helen.

I see you love Ararat. Have you ever seen the painting of Noah descending Ararat on the left when you click on the link. Click on the painting to make it larger.

Hi Nick...
Sorry, have just noticed your post....
Due to some on-going "pop ups" probs I can't open the link but I think I know what picture you are talking about. We saw many of them in Yerevan Vernisazh 2 years ago. They are beautiful...
But I bought small pics of our beloved Mt.Ararat, I will try to upload it now...
