[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Yazd located in central part of Iran is called the city of wind towers. These creative architectural innovation helped the inhabitants survive the hot summer days in the desert. They trap the wind and channel it into underground soil which has some moisture then spread the cool humid air into corridors.
