Silk Road: Aras Photo

Photographer’s Note

Travels on the Silk Road: Aras valley
The Aras valley is not part of the ancient Silk Road but had to be crossed when Täbris had to be reached coming from Georgia and Armenia. Today it is accessible only through an Iranian military road. 2800 years ago the valley was part of the Urartu empire. There seems to be a debate of interpretation whether according to Genesis Noah's Arch had landed on "Mountain Ararat" or in the "mountains of Urartu", for instance here.

Very rare and beautiful picture Dear Dietrich. This Silk Road pictures are very informative and offer great opportunity to know the relatively unknown region. Great shot with great colors and DOF.

Hallo Dietrich,
tolles Foto von einer wirklich sehr beeindruckenden Landschaft. Sehr gelungen ist der Gegensatz zwischen dem karegen Braun und dem Grün des Flusstals. Die Qualität des Fotos könnte besser sein. Vermutlich handelt es sich auch diesmal um ein eingescantes Dia.
Gestern hab ich dir übrigens geantwortet. Wie schon das letzte Mal bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob dir das aufgefallen ist. Du solltest ab und zu bei dir unter "discussions" nachschauen.
