Sochi is the most popular Russian resort, situated in the Krasnodar Krai, near the Russian border with Abkhazia, Georgia. It is located in a spectacular natural setting with snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus Mountains overlooking the Black Sea.
This picture of the sunset at Sochi, taken by Prokudin-Gorskii in 1915, is an example of early colour photography.
