You are showing many beautiful and interesting place, I think that you live in a special place that I wish to visit one day. But you should write something more in your note!! Take your timne and tell us some more description.

I looked in Wikipedia to know something more:

"The origins of the founding of the city Kermanshah are disputed but it's most glorious era was during the 4th century AD when it become a political city and region during the Sassanid era. In AD 226, following a two-year war led by the Persian Emperor - Ardashir I - against Kurdish tribes in the region, the Empire reinstated a local Kurdish prince, Kayus of Medya, to rule Kermanshah. Within the dynasty known as the House of Kayus (also Kâvusakân) remained a semi-independent Kurdish kingdom lasting until AD 380 before Ardashir II removed the dynasty's last ruling member.[2]
Kermanshah was conquered by the Arabs in AD 640 and called the town Qirmasin (Qirmashin). Under Seljuk rule in the 11th century, it was, and still is, a major cultural and commercial centre in Western Iran and the southern Kurdish region as a whole. The Safavids fortified the town, and the Qajars repulsed an attack by the Turks during Fath 'Ali Shah's rule (1797–1834). Occupied by the Turkish Army in 1915 during World War I, it was evacuated in 1917. After The Islamic Revolution in the 1970's, the city and its provinces (also called Kermanshah) were shortly renamed Bakhtaran, apparently owing to the use of "Shah" in the name. After the Iran-Iraq War, however, they were renamed Kermanshah. The City was hit hard during the Iran-Iraq War, and although it was rebuilt, it has never fully recovered."

Bravo, anyway!! keep posting!

Hello Jacob.
Wow, the lighting in this shot is really great. So bright behind the trees along the shore, but an excellent blending up into the hills. It's like a burst or expolsion of light. Very creative in my opinion to use the overexposure this way.
Well done,
Chris
:) tomorrow.
