19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Mountain to the Lut Desert in the Layers
Stunning multi-layer view of Date Palm trees in Nayband ancient village. Sand dunes glow in the sunset golden time. Salt lake in lower-height lands and the mountains visible in the far background landscape from the view of an old mudbrick house. In the northern edge of Lut Desert in Tabas county in unique clear sky visibility that rarely happened in the desert. I took this photo in a village in the east of Iran. The people of this village build their houses with vernacular architecture and less impact on nature. They have the wisdom from their ancestors. The art of living with nature in peace.
