The most beautiful sunset

The most beautiful sunset, Naxcivan

 Minashka Says:  I like walking around the city when the sun is low over Nahchivan and the nature is at peace. There is a canal in the middle of the city and while standing on the bridge, one gets to watch one of the most beautiful sunsets.
