Original – Statue of David of Sasun and the Yerevan train station
Reason
I honestly think it's a great shot. The statue is of David of Sasun, an Armenian epic hero. It was made in 1959 by Yervand Kochar. This statue is widely admired by Armenians. It has been pictured the logo [1] of Armenfilm, Armenia's main studio, even during the Soviet period [2], which is kind of unusual, because the Soviet regime didn't quite encourage nationalism among the minorities. The building on the background is the Yerevan train station.
