Hi Claudio
Like the stepped geography and how they all lead onto the village here.
Take Care

Ciao Klaudio,bentornato e complimenti per la scelta della meta,mi ha sempre attratto questo paese ricco di paesaggi differenti e contrasti etnici e culturali.La prima foto e' magnifica,un villaggio sperduto tra le montagne che forse compare per la prima volts su TE colto con una eccellente qualita',davvero originale il design ed i colori dei monti.In attesa che ti riprenda dal jet lag,complimenti per la prima foto!! Buona serata,Luciano

Hello Klaudio,
I have travelled in Iran in 1996 but this is an unknown place to me. I've even never seen a picture of Zanjan. And I have to admit that on this picture it looks fantastic!
The village looks a little Kurdish but I may be wrong about that.
The coloured layers over the various foothills look fantastic and they seem almost artificial. What a great view! Incredible that never before we found a picture of it on TE.
And yes, anyone who has visited Iran, will know that the Persians are an Aryan people :) BTW, I also loved my holiday there and this in a great degree thanks to the hospitable inhabitants, Persians and others.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Klaudio, I was just wondering what had happened that you were absent. Iran! I am very interested in your trip as I plan to go there with my friend in April. So I would appreciate any advice. I have also heard that the Iranians are VERY friendly. Still a lot of time to April, so I hope to learn some Farsi, I have already started:). I would like to be able at least to read the names.
The mountains really look like made from halva. Stunning composition.
How long you were there? Alone, with the family, or organized group? We want to go just two, maybe three.
Warm regrad s Malgo

Hi Klaudio!
Wonderful mountains!
Very interesting note! Very attractive and beautiful picture of a place I probably won't ever go to!
Sharpness, exposure, colors, chosen pov and composition are all excellent!
TFS - congrats,
Cheers,
Neyvan

Salam, Klaudio.. It's so nice to see you're back.. Now I have a new serial that I'll follow with great pleasure and enthusiasm and learn many things. The hills do look like halva, made of how we call 'tahin' , which is sesame oil, and the kind which is mixed with cocoa, has exactly that kind of appearance. I agree with one of your critiquers, the village with mud houses is like it might be a Kurdish village, and I think the colourful costumes of the local people-though they're very far and small, and the village being at the northern parts of Iran, supports my idea, though I'm not sure of course. A wonderful start to a new serial, the photo itself alone being an evidence of which part of the world you have visited.. Thanks for sharing and welcome home.

Hello Klaudio - What an original choice of destination and I can see from this upload that we are in for a treat seeing shots taken in a country that few of us will ever see with our own eyes. I love your description of the geology here... so poetic and judging from the layers we see in the hillsides perfect. I love the fact that the houses echo the surrounding landscape in colour.

Fascinating!

Welcome back

Wow! So that's where you've been! A country very high on my wish-list, the region I have just come back from...
The mountains really look like halva! The colours, shapes and the layers are amazing, I've never seen a landscape like this. I'm glad you decided to show us this village, I guess not often visited by tourists.
Srdacni pozdrav

Hi Klaudio. Very interesting landscape/unusul colour of the mountain, and nice frame makes this photograph attractive to look at.

Thanks for sharing !!!

Welcome back Mr Klaudio, gosh you have just travelled half across the world, to be a part of another world which has flourished for thousands of years. Iran is quite a choice for a destination, it is bold, shows your appetite for adventure, travel, your need to explore the lesser known lands, forgotten people, your need to find answers.

I am looking forward to the series, take it beyond the objective and let my imagination lead the way. This photo reminds me of similar hamlets that i have seen in the remote corner of the upper Himalayas. Similar topography, the striated mountains with several banded mineral deposits. Interesting to see how the locals have bordered the doors and windows with white paint, looks like some ritual.

Did you stay over in this village, this looks really back in time. this could be the adventure you are looking for !

regards
sayeed
[p.s. - given the isolation and remoteness of these high and dry places on the planet, the last thing that should come to your mind is "cupcakes" !! :)) ]

Hello Klaudio. Azerbaijan. A small village in front of a specially shaped rock mountains. A photo like from another world. In addition, a very instructive text. The photo has documentary value and is ideal for TE.
Best rgds, Wolfgang.

macjake (92625) 2014-10-28 22:49

Hi Klaudio
really impressed with your shots from Iran.
we should see more and more of these on TE.

I take it the trip to Iran was very safe? any problems at all that you encountered? Iran isn't exactly a country most people think about traveling to.

I can look at this one for ages, its a beautiful image, especially with the mountains in the bg to compliment the village.

its a wow for me
cheers

Hello Klaudio,
This is an amazing place! Beautiful village at the foot of the mountains with beautiful pastel colors. Very nice graphics mountains formed by the color gradient. The title is well chosen real Halva, I love it!
Have a nice week-end.

Hello Klaudio,

a very unusual sight for my eyes. In the eighties I came through a ghost town on the border to Mexico, where the abandoned houses looked very similar. But strange-looking mountains - like in your picture - were not at that place.

All in all a great photo. An interesting scenery, crisp sharpness, great colors and of course a perfect composition.

All the best

Peter

amazing view of this rustic village in the edge of these curious colored hills. very nice details of this rural zone. Iran should be a fantastic place to visit and I would like to do that someday. TFS.
