The road hums away from Tbilisi and in an hour the landscape shifts: low plateaus give way to a cut in the earth where basalt and limestone cliffs lean together and the gorge narrows. At Diamond Bridge, the canyon announces itself with a sudden drop and a ribbon of river that seems to dare you closer; the bridge arches across, a human line stitched through older stone.
