Grız (also, Giriz) is a village and municipality in the Quba Rayon of Azerbaijan. It has a population of 368.

For the first time I saw the mountainous village of Griz in 2014. It was a hot summer day. We planned to get to the village Jack through the Griz village by the path "99 turns" from Chaygovushana (the confluence of the rivers Elikchay and Gudialchay), where pitched the camp. We stayed at the village less than 15 minutes just to find out the way and soon left
At this time, the Griz village appeared before me on a cold snowy day with a clear sky and bright stars ...
 

It allowed me to make incredible night shots. To take the photograph of the VIII century Abu Muslim mosque, the movement of the stars over the Caucasian mountains ...

At dawn we went to the frozen waterfall on the Gudialchay river, young Ramin showed us the way - the son of the house owner, who kept a good house. The dawn at -15 with clear skies - it is always a very nice colors.
 

The waterfall had frozen recently. The Ice at its inception was thin and did not stand when I tried to get closer.

The waterfall itself is located in a kind of cave.

Returning back, we talked to the locals and soon left the village. We had to walk to the village Gyryzdehne where we left the car, because of the high snow the villager took us to the Griz on UAZ with chains on the wheels ... 
Griz village is very beautiful and original. Residents are always welcome, even though there are no often guests because of the bad road.  After staying at Griz just aday, I realized, perhaps its not enough a whole month to see all its beauty, 
I will definitely try to come here again.
