How to place them

Armenia's 10 places all sit inside 140 km. Aim for the middle and the accuracy radius does the rest. A 25 km ring in the south catches Etchmiadzin Cathedral, St. Hripsime, Mother Armenia, Republic Square and Garni Temple.

Expect to lose points here. Six of the 10 are hard, among them St. Hripsime, Sanahin Monastery and Gyumri. There is no easy photo in the set. Khor Virap is a monastery on a hill with Mount Ararat filling the horizon behind it.
