[:ja]セルゲイ・リャザンスキー宇宙飛行士が投稿した、ISSから撮影したジョージア（国）の首都トビリシ（ティビリシ）です。手前にロシア、奥にトルコも見えています。
ジョージア（旧グルジア）は、南コーカサス、コーカサス山脈の南麓、黒海の東岸にあります。東ヨーロッパもしくは西アジアに区分されます。ソビエト連邦の構成国でしたが、1991年に独立しました。南オセチアとアブハジアの2地域が事実上の独立状態となっており、ロシア連邦など一部の国から国家承認を受けています。古来数多くの民族が行き交う交通の要衝であり、幾度もの他民族支配にさらされる地にありながら、キリスト教信仰をはじめとする伝統文化を守り通してきました。また、温暖な気候を利用したワイン生産の盛んな国としても知られます。

[Earthview Wonders] No.1029: Georgia (Country)🇬🇪
Astronaut Ryazansky posted a photo of Tbilisi, Georgia captured from ISS. Russia at the bottom and Turkey at the upper end are shown on the Black Sea in the photo as well.
Georgia is a country in the Caucasus region of Eurasia, located at the crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe, and it contains two de facto independent regions, Abkhazia and South Ossetia. During the classical era, several independent kingdoms became established in what is now Georgia, such as Colchis and Iberia. The Georgians officially adopted Christianity in the early 4th century. By the 1980s, an independence movement was established and grew, leading to Georgia’s secession from the Soviet Union in April 1991. Georgian wine making is a very old tradition and a key branch of the country’s economy, and throughout Georgia’s modern history agriculture and tourism have been principal economic sectors, because of the country’s climate and topography.
The local scenery on the ground of Tbilisi is as follows.
