When you’re on the summit, you’re only halfway there. Even more important than reaching the summit is to get back safely.
The climb back to civilization from Kazbek’s beautiful peak was equally amazing as the climb up.

Autumn Leaves
Summer’s slowly fading
Leaves are turning brown
Flying with the wind
Until they all fall down
Shining in a golden light
Lies the landscape still
And a sparkling river
Is dancing with a mill
While all of us are moving
Nature stops once more
Holds her breath for summer
The time she most adore
The old trees out there oh summer
Will wait for your return
Will stay out there in silence
Until they feel your burn
For all of us who live here
We feel how times pass by
See the changing colors
In the autumn sky
Soon winter will be coming
Covering the land in snow
But still the hills keep sparkling
In the suns everwaming glow
