Following in the vein of my Tbilisi in Photos post, I now give you Yerevan in Sight and Sound, an assortment of photos and videos that capture the city and feature my absolute favorite thing about the capital: the singing fountains. Every evening in the summer there is a musical extravaganza in Republic Square in which the pools of fountains dance choreographed numbers to music blasted throughout the plaza. You would think something like this would only be attended by tourists (that would certainly be the case in New York), but here the locals seem to outweigh the visitors. It’s a remarkable display of community and unity, and of course, the show is thrilling. I was so obsessed I attended every. single. night. So here’s my farewell (for now) to Yerevan and Armenia.
