"Migratory flamingos spend several months each year in Lake Maharloo, a saline lake in central Iran, for mating and preparing their chicks for independent life. My place of residence is about seven hundred kilometers away from there, but as soon as I heard about the arrival of these flamingos at the lake, I coordinated with one of the experienced local motor glider pilots. We took off early one morning, and I took several photos of this gathering."
