Where love is Forbidden, a photo from Yazd, East

Photographer's Note

Yazd is of foremost importance as a centre of Persian architecture. Because of its climate, it has one of the largest networks of qanats in the world, and Yazdi qanat makers are considered the most skilled in Iran. To deal with the extremely hot summers, many old buildings in Yazd have magnificent windcatchers, and large underground areas. The city is also home to prime examples of yakhchals, the latter of which were used to store ice retrieved from glaciers the nearby mountains. Yazd is also one of the largest cities built almost entirely out of adobe.

Hello Mohammad,
A long time ago I've visited Yazd and I remember that the old town is really very beautiful.
I like the composition of this picture with a lot of dark space and with the silhouettes of the two people in front of the walls of the old town. The colour of the walls is the colour how I remember this desert city.
Best regards, Paul

Salam Mohammad. A long overdue visit from me. And what do I find? This beautifully lit and beautifully coloured photo. Plus, sentiments from Romeo and Juliet, but with an Iranian twist to it.Poetic work, sensitively handled. Regards. Klaudio.
