Where is everybody? I don't see a single person in this shot. It becomes a ghost town. What a pity, because it really has nice depth and I wih there had been some people in the street or in the gardens. Is that snow on the mountains in the background?

An Iranian village. Something new for me to learn about Iran and its people. You and Elihesamian do well showing to the world, that Iran is not just about people in white robes and bearded. This atmospheric view shows well the village and how the ambience feels like Roshan.
