  3. Guardian Cities (@guardiancities)

Their picturesque homepage could easily be termed the photographer’s paradise. Travel the world vicariously with them!

This is @oheleno and this is the final day of my one week take over of @guardiancities to showcase my adopted city of #Tbilisi Anyone that has been to #Tbilisi will recognise this landmark: The Bridge of Peace. It is the bow-shaped pedestrian bridge over the Kura River, connecting the charming dilapidated streets of Old Tbilisi with a new development on the other side of the river. I must admit, when I first arrived in Tbilisi, I took a disliking to it. Its glassy and alien-like appearance seemed at odds with the rest of the city. Some if its detractors have likened its shape to a giant sanitary towel, nicknaming it the ‘Always Ultra’ Bridge. Yet, symbolically I have come to appreciate what the bridge does for the city. After years of civil war in the early 90’s and the 2008 war with Russia, monuments like these remind us that Georgia is a forward-looking and dynamic country, hurtling towards the future.
