Band-e-Amir 4 Photo

Photographer’s Note

You can see the Band-e- Amir and its landscape from a distance.
In Dari (Persian) Band means Dam and Amir (Arabic) means Prince or Knight etc.

The Local people is calling this Band-e-Amir, because they belive that Imama Ali (Fourth Khalif of Sunni & Other Fiqh of Muslims & First Imam of Shia Fiqh also famous with name Amir ul Momineen) came here and asked the water to stop. And you can see that the water is stopped a little bit higher than the barrier.

Splendid shot. It's very clear and natural. Water is very deep and looks like a diamond.
Thank's for sharing.

Hi Muhammed,
I like your point of view, giving a good impression of the place!
Well composed, with good use of different layers... Strong foreground interest adds a goods feeling of depth!
Inclusion of the people takes care of the human interest, but I'm not sure what they are doing... maybe camping?

Greenie will be forwarded! OK-

Hi Muhammed,
Very nice capture showing the local people actitity at the lake. The view is just stunning. I like how the blue lake contrast with the arid and impressive cliffs on the background.
