Crickets under water fall

Saturday, July 16th, 2011

About two weeks ago in trip to north province of Mazandaran, under an small waterfall, I noticed this beautiful cricket and his/her mate.  They looked so pretty I couldn’t stop taking images and here is 2 of them:

Walked in Tehran Bazaar for a few hours and had a chance to take a photo of  Masjed Shah (King’s mosque) entrance gate from inside. Illegal but who cares, it is just a photo.

Bazaar always looks amazing.

The image is also available on Panoramio and Google Earth.

 

 

Tehran mountains

Here is a very short video and some images I have taken from mountains located in north of Tehran. At this time of the year, it has the mildest weather and it is a great place if you really need some oxygen.

Smart Brown trouts!

Monday, June 16th, 2008

9th June 2008 was the beginning of the fishing season in the Laar reservoir at Laar dam, right at west of Damavand peak, and east of Tehran province, Iran.  This year, I had the chance to go there to have a great adventure and fishing experience.  The lake is native environment of an special species of fresh water fish; Brown trout.  This kind of brown trout is called Red-Dot trout locally or in Farsi: “Khaal-Ghermez, خال قرمز”, because most of the fish are silver colored trouts with black and red dots on them (other varieties exist as well).

I tried to get some sleep the Sunday 8th June, as I didn’t get a good sleep for a few days before, thinking I needed to gather my strength and wake up very early and I was to drive about 90 Km to the Laar reservoir and Damavand peak.
