On January 19, 2010 Pyatigorsk received the status of the center of North Caucasus Federal District. It is the only center of the federal district not being the capital of the subject of the federation. Photos by timag82. Click the photos for high resolution versions.

Spectacularly beautiful area! In my home state of Washington in the northwestern corner of the United States we’re pretty proud of our mountain panoramas (Olympic and Cascade ranges), but these photos show a most awesome skyline; the sunset views, and those of the clouds hiding all but the peaks were wonderful. Glad I happened onto this page – I am so impressed by the area’s magnificence. Lucky people who live there!
