Shapourkhast's yard Photo

Photographer’s Note

The inner yard of Falak-ol-aflak castle (Shapourkhast), Khoram Abad, Lorestan.
This castle was used as a prison until around 50 years ago and then registered as a national heritage and changed into a museum. This is the inner yard of the two large yards in the castle. Beyond the windows is the museum of ancient relices of Lorestan but unfortunately it was closed when I was visiting the castle. So many invaluable items are kept in this museum like ancient idols and statutes. The most significant items are ancient gold masks that were worn in religious ceremonies thousands of years ago.
Remind you that this yard is 40 meters above the street.

Hi Akbar
I like to see the tree in that position, with the good amount of ground yard before.

Akbar,
The tree seems to resist to the rude dry climat of your country as the last tree of the area :-) Thank for sharing a piece of story with a nice the description of the place.
Kind regards.
