Photographer’s Note

Shushtar's raison d'etre for millenia was controlling the irrigation of the Khuzestan plains, and the town's most famous attraction is a set of ancient watermills (abshari sika). Actually, these aren't buildings but a powerful arc of cascading water chutes that are strangely mesmerising. They are especially impressive considering that the water is fed through man-made feeder tunnels. Hope you enjoy the picture.
